Space-saving innovations are nothing new—Murphy beds, folding desks, integrated storage, and multitasking furnishings have long been staples of tiny home design. Recently, however, Spanish architecture practice Enorme Studio has combined all these elements with robotics to create Beyome, a new system for flexible living in tight urban spaces.
The company name—Beyome—is a contraction of "beyond home." "We aim to go beyond a traditional home to turn it into a flexible space adapted to our contemporary lifestyle," says Enorme Studio cofounder Carmelo Rodriguez.

Enorme Studio began experimenting with mobile furniture in small apartment renovations more than five years ago, and the team quickly began to think about how the same concept could be applied at a larger scale. Two years ago, they approached Spanish construction company Project Consortium to develop a robotic system capable of transforming interior architecture at at moment’s notice.
Beyome is a collaboration between designers Enorme Studio, manufacturers Project Consortium, and investment group Xeito. The system features typical space-saving initiatives—such as wall beds—integrated into moving partitions that can be reconfigured to change the floor plan.

When the bed is folded up into the partition, a desk can be folded down to transform the bedroom into a study. Storage is integrated into each moveable partition to reduce clutter and facilitate clear floor space when reconfiguring the plan.
