In an era marked by the scarcity of living space, the average living area per individual is either stagnant or decreasing once more. Particularly in student accommodations, the demand is high, and rents are steep, leading to very limited space. Consequently, to maximize storage, the upper zones of rooms are being utilized; cabinets and shelves now extend almost to the ceiling.
