For our latest lookbook, we've selected 10 adaptable flats from the Dezeen archive that can be reconfigured with moving walls or furniture.

Adaptable apartments use sliding partitions and smart storage solutions to divide spaces, or incorporate reconfigurable rooms so that they can serve multiple purposes.

These interventions are often used in smaller spaces and studio apartments to make the best use of limited space. Projects included in this lookbook feature fold-out furniture, storage that drops from the ceiling and furniture on wheels.

This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series that provides visual inspiration for designers and design enthusiasts. Previous lookbooks include mid-century modern interiors, minimalist bedrooms and home libraries.

Apartment 402, Japan, by Hiroyuki Ogawa Architects

This studio apartment in Tokyo designed by Hiroyuki Ogawa Architects features a sliding wooden screen to divide the home's interior in two.

The screen allows the interior to be either fully opened up to form an open-plan living space or partitioned off for privacy.

Studio flat, Australia, by Catseye Bay

This 36-square-metre flat in Sydney is comprised of three rooms – a bedroom, kitchen and a bathroom.
