Well, in another EU country (Italy) that flat would be against building rules and Laws, not only you cannot call a bathroom "sleeping area"[1] but usually (there are exceptions for historical buldings and handicap toilets) a toilet (where the wc is) cannot be connected directly to a kitchen or more generally where meals are prepared, but long before that the very minimal surface for a flat is 28 sqm (the one in the article is around 26) to be an autonomous unit. Additionally, from the photo it appears that the WC is connected to an electric sanitary macerator, which is not admissible unless it is for a secondary bathroom.
