The floor of the mezzanine area also contains trap doors which create a rudimentary dressing room and offer additional storage space.</p> <p>To get a better sense of the concept behind Didomestic, check out the video below.</p> <p>Sources: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744/http://elii.es/" target="_blank">Elii</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744/http://www.imagensubliminal.com/content/obra/067-didomestic" target="_blank">ImagenSubliminal</a></p><div class="article_video"> <iframe width="530" height="398" src="//web.archive.org/web/20150607123744if_/http://player.vimeo.com/video/71686626" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div>  <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"> <div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/didomestic-elii-architecture/30598/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false" data-share="true"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> _ga.trackFacebook(); </script> </div> <div class="as_button"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744/http://www.gizmag.com/didomestic-elii-architecture/30598/">Tweet</a> </div> <div class="as_button"> <div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/didomestic-elii-architecture/30598/"></div> </div> <div class="as_button stumble_as_button"> <iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A//www.gizmag.com/didomestic-elii-architecture/30598/" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1" name="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe> </div> <div class="as_button"> <div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/didomestic-elii-architecture/30598/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/archive/didomestic-10.jpg" data-description="Fun-loving architecture firm Elii is back with a new apartment project which shows its flair for creativity focused toward maximizing both flexibility and storage space, with intriguing results."></div> </div> <div class="as_button"> <script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script> </div> <div class="as_button" id="reddit_button_bar"> <script type="text/javascript"> reddit_newwindow='1' </script> </div> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> <div class="ad "> <div class="ad-label">Advertisement</div> <script async src="//web.archive.org/web/20150607123744js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle ad-article-bottom" style="" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1607124478120364" data-ad-slot="6055296962"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div>  <div id="outbrain"> <div class="OUTBRAIN" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/didomestic-elii-architecture/30598/" data-widget-id="AR_1" data-ob-template="Gizmag"></div> <script type="text/javascript" async="async" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744js_/http://widgets.outbrain.com/outbrain.js"></script> </div>  <span class="title clear_left" id="author_byline_title">About the Author</span> <div class="dotsontop" id="authorcontainer"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744/http://www.gizmag.com/author/adam-williams/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123744im_/http://images.gizmag.com/CACHE/images/avatars/171.e94d3d47142a.jpg" alt="Adam Williams" id="bio_pic" name="bio_pic"/> </a> Adam scours the globe from his home in North Wales in order to bring the best of innovative architecture and sustainable design to the pages of Gizmag.
