In addition to watching this excellent-as-always video from faircompanies, you can also learn more about Robert and Rosa Garneau's living space over at Dwell where the couple, both trained architects, further explain the various features of their apartment. Says Robert: "The analogy I love to use is that our apartment is like a Swiss Army knife: a compact, well-designed, functional thing of beauty."
