This Moscow apartment, designed by Studio Bazi, is home to some of the most ingenious storage solutions we've ever seen. Each hidden compartment is seamlessly integrated, creating an overall effect of clean serenity. Click through for a closer look.
The hallway connecting the living room to the bedroom seems fairly ordinary, though a closer look reveals each wall contains a number of doors.
The Unfolding Kitchen and Laundry
On one side of the hallway: two sets of oak doors, which, when closed, conceal more than you might think.
Behind the first set of accordion doors is a compact kitchenette.

Behind door number two: the world's most compact laundry room.
On the opposite side, a set of small doors are cleverly built in beneath the stairwell leading from the entryway.
The Concealed Closets
Behind the doors are angled compartments, which pull out to reveal slim closets.
The largest compartment has a top shelf, a deep hanging rack for clothing, and wooden drawers for smaller items.
The bedroom is framed by the closed laundry on the left, and the small closet at right.
The Bed and Bath
A concealed curtain creates privacy.
The bedroom is ultra-streamlined.
Through the bedroom is a view into the under-stairs bath.
