Simon Woodroffe, the entrepreneur who founded Yo!Sushi is stepping into the residential apartment development world with a brand new concept called Yo!Home.  Inspired by design ideas he picked up when creating his Japanese influenced “capsule-hotel” - Yo!tel, Yo!Home utilises many innovative features to maximise limited living space.  These include a sunken lounge with flip up seating, a bedroom elevator and a disappearing guest bed.

The stunning prototype, which cost Woodrofe a reported £200,000 to create, was unveiled for the first time at the 100% Design Show at Earls Court in London.  It is not clear what the retail price will be, but initially the higher end of the apartment market will be targeted.
