Italian designers demonstrate how to hide the kitchen under the floor

The question of how to hide the kitchen can arise in the mind of a person who lives in a cramped apartment, recognizes the need to have a sink, stove and everything else that is needed for cooking, but does not use it from morning till night.

Italian designers have proposed their idea for such a small kitchen interior, having designed a rather unusual design. In the dwelling decorated by them the area of ​​15 м2 kitchen is, and quite functional. That's just it is, in fact, under the floor. The developers installed a high podium. Similar constructions are not uncommon in modern studio apartments, but usually there are retractable beds inside them.

In the same case, both the sleeping place and the dining area are equipped on the platform itself, and part of the space under the podium is used to store things.

We have doubts that this idea works well in practice. What should the hostess do when she needs to serve a cooked lunch in the dining room? Close the kitchen to be able to climb the steps to the platform? Or to resort to someone's help and simply transfer the plates over the flap panels? Probably, the inhabitants of such an apartment should be levitating yogis, or at least gymnasts.

And how would you evaluate this idea and its execution?
