Designed by Schemaa, this Paris apartment makes the most of its small space. The minimalist interior features cupboard storage inside the alternating-tread staircase at the center of its plan. In order to keep clutter at bay, there is full cabinetry in the kitchen, a bookshelf in the doorway between the kitchen and living rooms, and storage along the wall of the cozy attic bedroom. With all of the little items stowed away, the apartment is refreshingly calm and seems more spacious.
