Convertible spaces have become increasingly important in both American and Brazilian urban design due to rising real estate costs and smaller living spaces in metropolitan areas. In Brazil, particularly in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, this concept aligns with the trend of micro-apartments and efficient urban housing solutions. In the USA, especially in NYC, convertible spaces and 'flex apartments' are marketed as desirable features for modern professionals and small families seeking adaptable living environments.
