Dream Home Part 8

A Hanging Bedroom in Valentin Apartment

Among the 7 wonders of the ancient world, the Hanging Gardens of the Babylon played as inspiration for the hanging bedroom in the Valentin Apartment. This may not qualify as an architectural wonder, but it sure makes you gape your mouth wide open in ‘wonder’ as you walk through the home’s door. French architect Emmanuel Combarel Dominique Marrec came up with this unique design that turns out to be the heart of a tiny apartment that intends to maximize available space in the most creative possible way.


The bedroom that clings to the roof acts as a separator of a structure that has a high ceiling at one part and a low one at the other. The suspended cube is made of a metallic structure covered with wooden panels and the entire home is covered in white to add to its modern look. So in case you live in here and see floating legs at night, it’s just someone sitting on the edge of the bed.
