This is one of my favorite Japanese TV programs called 大改造!!剧的ビフォーアフター(That's a Dramatic Change!) [JA Wikipedia]. Basically, they try to fix people's living situations by completely gutting their houses, saving and recycling a few bits, getting rid of truckloads of accumulated junk, and then creating a nicely designed, airy space to live in.
This episode was to transform a crowded house which covered 19㎡ but sharing with 6 people(grandma,parents and 3 children) into a space with less space but more functions.
The designer considered all the demands of family members especially the elder and the children. They custom-built for the family and make the furniture more multifunctional and humanized.
