Definitions
- the field of the invention relates to a residential apartment that uses mechanical or motorised systems to enable a primary room to be reconfigured to have multiple different functions.
- micro-flats or micro-apartments essentially a single, primary room, with furniture that can serve multiple functions, such as a bookshelf that can be swung around to reveal a vertically stored bed that can be lowered to the floor, or a futon sleeping mattress that can be re-configured as a sofa, or a more conventional sofa-bed.
- furniture that can serve multiple functions, such as a bookshelf that can be swung around to reveal a vertically stored bed that can be lowered to the floor, or a futon sleeping mattress that can be re-configured as a sofa, or a more conventional sofa-bed.
- Combining this kind of dual use-furniture with other items, such as tables that fold down from the wall and highly compact kitchen equipment can lead to a micro-apartment that is an effective use of a very small space.
- these designs are not especially comfortable and rarely luxurious; multi-function furniture can be quite unattractive and obtrusive; they can be quite bulky too, defeating the
- a building including for example serviced apartments/rentals/extended stays/hotel rooms, to include apartments with a single primary room (e.g. flats, apartments, hotel rooms) that can be reconfigured to have multiple different functions, such as altering a primary room to be a sitting room, or a dining room, or a bedroom, but to do so whilst maintaining a high quality appearance and a sense of space that cannot be readily achieved using conventional multi-function furniture.
- a building including for example serviced apartments/rentals/extended stays/hotel rooms, to include apartments with a single primary room (e.g. flats, apartments, hotel rooms) that can be reconfigured to have multiple different functions, such as altering a primary room to be a sitting room, or a dining room, or a bedroom, but to do so whilst maintaining a high quality appearance and a sense of space that cannot be readily achieved using conventional multi-function furniture.
- a first aspect of the invention is a residential apartment that uses mechanical or motorised systems to enable a room, such as a primary room, to be reconfigured to have multiple different configurations or functions, such as altering a sitting room to a dining room, to a bedroom, to a kitchen, and in which the apartment includes voids in one or more of the walls, ceiling and floor to incorporate the mechanical or motorized systems.
- a mechanical or motorised system operates a sleeping platform to move down from the ceiling to rest over a seating area; in a sitting room configuration the mechanical or motorised system operates the sleeping platform to move up from the seating area to the ceiling.
- a mechanical or motorised system moves a table into a position in which it forms a dining table.
- Other optional features are that:
- the apartment may include a shower with a shower tray on which a person may stand, and the tray may be moved to reveal a plunge bath.
- the walls, ceiling or floor that contain the void or voids typically provide the respective functions of being a wall, ceiling and floor in a substantial portion of the primary room and are not merely part of an item of furniture that itself rests against or on a genuine (e.g. structural) part of a wall, ceiling or floor.
- the walls, ceilings or floors that contain the void or voids are typically, in whole or part, false walls, ceilings or floors.
- the apartment can be a serviced apartment, rental apartment, extended stay apartment, hotel room, or apartment for long-term lease or purchase. It can be newly-built or converted from an existing building, such as a former commercial building, taking advantage of the floor to ceiling heights typically found in such buildings, which readily enable suitable voids in the floor and ceiling to be constructed.

- YO! Home is a pioneering and intuitive living space set to revolutionise contemporary homes. This aims to transform the way we live. Homes help shape our lives. They are our refuge, and our rock. Since the invention of the city centre apartment, we've never really re-invented it. In one aspect, YO! Home is that new invention.
- twelve moving parts allow the transformation of an eighty square metre space (the size of a one bedroom apartment) into a much bigger home.
- the opening of a floor or the press of a button one can transform an eighty square metre space into a home containing: a master bedroom suite; a second bedroom; a sunken sitting room; a cinema; a dining room; an office; a full size kitchen; a breakfast room; a bathroom/spa; a party room; a wine cellar, and additional hidden storage.
- YO! Home acts as a precursor to the launch of new-build apartment blocks and office block conversions in cities around the world. Through a commitment to high quality without the relating high costs, it is believed this will attract buyers of all ages and backgrounds.
- YO! Home An apartment or dwelling, which through the use of mechanical furniture and false flooring and false ceiling can be adapted to different room functions, creating more useable space and functionality.
- the property enables a master bedroom suite, a second bedroom, a sunken sitting room, a cinema, a dining room, an office, a full-size kitchen, a breakfast room, a bathroom, a party room and a wine cellar, etc, designed to fit within the space of one room.
- the architecture of the stage brings with it the basic principles of counter-weights and moving parts, allowing safe, easy and low-energy movement of large elements such as the bed and wall. More high-tech elements, such as sensors and electronics, make the concept easy to use and family-proof.
- the hidden rooms including a sunken sitting room, appear at the touch of a button. During the day this space could be used as an office before transforming into a bedroom.
- Cantilevered “lifting bed” operable to be stored in ceiling (see for example FIGS. 10 , 11 A and 12 ).

Abstract
A residential apartment uses mechanical or motorised systems to enable a primary room to be reconfigured to have multiple different functions, such as altering a sitting room to a dining room, to a bedroom, to a kitchen, and in which the apartment includes voids in one or more of the walls, ceiling and floor to incorporate the mechanical or motorized systems.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The field of the invention relates to a residential apartment that uses mechanical or motorised systems to enable a primary room to be reconfigured to have multiple different functions.
- 2. Discussion of Related Art
- The price of land in city centres and other premium locations where people want to live (e.g. proximity to work place and cultural areas) can be very high, so that a typical 1 bedroom flat in these premium location can be very costly; the availability of affordable but reasonably high quality accommodation can be very limited in many cities and the problem is generally getting worse, as cities become increasingly over-crowded.
- One important urban trend to combat the shortage of affordable accommodation is for micro-flats or micro-apartments—essentially a single, primary room, with furniture that can serve multiple functions, such as a bookshelf that can be swung around to reveal a vertically stored bed that can be lowered to the floor, or a futon sleeping mattress that can be re-configured as a sofa, or a more conventional sofa-bed. Combining this kind of dual use-furniture with other items, such as tables that fold down from the wall and highly compact kitchen equipment, can lead to a micro-apartment that is an effective use of a very small space. But these designs are not especially comfortable and rarely luxurious; multi-function furniture can be quite unattractive and obtrusive; they can be quite bulky too, defeating the object of elegant and effective utilization of a small footprint apartment.
- Another approach, adopted by Hong Kong architect Gary Chang in a 330 sq feet tenement apartment is to add a number of internal walls mounted on ceiling tracks and wheels within a primary room—moving the walls allows the space to be re-configured to multiple different uses. The high quality of the design makes this space both attractive and luxurious; but the moving walls are costly and themselves occupy quite substantial floor space, so limiting the available free floor space.
- What is needed is a new approach that enables a building, including for example serviced apartments/rentals/extended stays/hotel rooms, to include apartments with a single primary room (e.g. flats, apartments, hotel rooms) that can be reconfigured to have multiple different functions, such as altering a primary room to be a sitting room, or a dining room, or a bedroom, but to do so whilst maintaining a high quality appearance and a sense of space that cannot be readily achieved using conventional multi-function furniture.
- A first aspect of the invention is a residential apartment that uses mechanical or motorised systems to enable a room, such as a primary room, to be reconfigured to have multiple different configurations or functions, such as altering a sitting room to a dining room, to a bedroom, to a kitchen, and in which the apartment includes voids in one or more of the walls, ceiling and floor to incorporate the mechanical or motorized systems.
- Specific features in one implementation include the following:
- In a bedroom configuration, a mechanical or motorised system operates a sleeping platform to move down from the ceiling to rest over a seating area; in a sitting room configuration the mechanical or motorised system operates the sleeping platform to move up from the seating area to the ceiling. Other optional features are that:
-
- Seating area has built-in seating that is fixed in position
- Sleeping platform substantially covers the seating area.
- Seating area is sunken into a void in the floor
- Seating area is shaped to fit together with the sleeping platform
- Sleeping platform when raised provides a ceiling over the seating area
- Storage areas are arranged in voids in the floor
- Sliding partition mounted in a void in the ceiling and/or floor, separates the primary room into two or more zones including, optionally, a walk-in wardrobe and a spare bed area
- In a dining room configuration, a mechanical or motorised system moves a table into a position in which it forms a dining table. Other optional features are that:
-
- a mechanical or motorised system moves built-in seating to a position suitable for the dining table
- a table is concealed in a seat or in a void in the floor or wall
- a breakfast/preparation bar/counter folds down from wall
- a mechanical coffee table transforms to a dining table through a popup and open action
- folding, pocket kitchen doors may be used
- an office desk may convert to a bed
- there may be a fold down desk/bar/vanity unit next to bedroom
- The apartment may include a shower with a shower tray on which a person may stand, and the tray may be moved to reveal a plunge bath.
- To further distinguish over the prior art, in this invention the walls, ceiling or floor that contain the void or voids typically provide the respective functions of being a wall, ceiling and floor in a substantial portion of the primary room and are not merely part of an item of furniture that itself rests against or on a genuine (e.g. structural) part of a wall, ceiling or floor. The walls, ceilings or floors that contain the void or voids are typically, in whole or part, false walls, ceilings or floors.
- The apartment can be a serviced apartment, rental apartment, extended stay apartment, hotel room, or apartment for long-term lease or purchase. It can be newly-built or converted from an existing building, such as a former commercial building, taking advantage of the floor to ceiling heights typically found in such buildings, which readily enable suitable voids in the floor and ceiling to be constructed.
- Taking a more detailed look at optional features, the apartment:
-
- Includes a false ceiling into which a bed can be raised.
- Includes a false floor into which a table can be lowered.
- Includes a false floor and a sofa area below the level of the false floor.
- Enables a space to be re-purposed from a bedroom, to a living room, to a kitchen/diner, to a study by raising or lowering furniture into a false ceiling and false floor.
- Includes a projection screen that drops down from the ceiling and can be watched from a bed that can be lowered from the ceiling and also from a sofa that is positioned in a void under the bed.
- Includes a hot tub in the void beneath the level of the false floor.
- Includes a wine cellar in the void beneath the level of the false floor.
- Includes storage in the void beneath the level of the false floor.
- Includes a sitting area around a table in the void beneath the level of the false floor.

- YO! Home is a pioneering and intuitive living space set to revolutionise contemporary homes. This aims to transform the way we live. Homes help shape our lives. They are our refuge, and our rock. Since the invention of the city centre apartment, we've never really re-invented it. In one aspect, YO! Home is that new invention.
- In an example, twelve moving parts allow the transformation of an eighty square metre space (the size of a one bedroom apartment) into a much bigger home.
- In an example, at the pull of a wall (eg. a sliding wall), the opening of a floor or the press of a button one can transform an eighty square metre space into a home containing: a master bedroom suite; a second bedroom; a sunken sitting room; a cinema; a dining room; an office; a full size kitchen; a breakfast room; a bathroom/spa; a party room; a wine cellar, and additional hidden storage.
- YO! Home acts as a precursor to the launch of new-build apartment blocks and office block conversions in cities around the world. Through a commitment to high quality without the relating high costs, it is believed this will attract buyers of all ages and backgrounds.
- YO! Home—An apartment or dwelling, which through the use of mechanical furniture and false flooring and false ceiling can be adapted to different room functions, creating more useable space and functionality.
- In an example, the property enables a master bedroom suite, a second bedroom, a sunken sitting room, a cinema, a dining room, an office, a full-size kitchen, a breakfast room, a bathroom, a party room and a wine cellar, etc, designed to fit within the space of one room.
- In one example, twelve mechanical moving parts draw on a wealth of engineering technology taken from fields as diverse as yacht and automotive design and the mechanics of stage production, allowing the transformation of a bedroom (e.g. 80 sq/m) space into a much bigger home.
- The architecture of the stage brings with it the basic principles of counter-weights and moving parts, allowing safe, easy and low-energy movement of large elements such as the bed and wall. More high-tech elements, such as sensors and electronics, make the concept easy to use and family-proof.
- The hidden rooms, including a sunken sitting room, appear at the touch of a button. During the day this space could be used as an office before transforming into a bedroom.
- Master Bedroom in “Bed down” configuration (see for example
FIG. 28A and 29A ). - Cantilevered “lifting bed” operable to be stored in ceiling (see for example
