Her story:

For one very lucky tiny home resident in Madrid, Elii Architects fit her home with some amazing space saving features you won't find at IKEA. The quirky 620 square foot attic loft has an impressive variety of hidden compartments, trap doors and even a retractable dining room set that not only create a sense of expansiveness, but also lend the home an eccentric spirit."

Again, those beams.
