Is it possible to live in an apartment 1 meter wide?Is it possible to build an attic on the roof of two houses at once? How much can life above the clouds cost? You will find clear answers to all these questions in our hit parade of the narrowest, brightest, most expensive and simply strange apartments - there were plenty of them last year. In this selection, we will present the 10 best of the best!
1. How to fit the entire apartment into 14 meters
The width of this one is only 1.2 meters, and the total areaand does not exceed 14 meters, but everything necessary and even a little more fits here. Of course, it was not possible to place a full-size double bed here, but a fully equipped and quite comfortable study appeared.
2. How to decorate an attic apartment
Have you often come across apartments with a bed inliving room? We had to, and more than once. But we haven't seen it for a long time. This apartment is located in the attic of a very old building, and the owners were desperately short of free space. The solution did not come immediately, but it turned out to be the most reasonable. The designers made the interior architecture of the apartment the main highlight of the space - all the interior decoration is built around it, and it is this that distracts attention from the meager footage at the right moment.
3. Fiddler on the Roof: A Musician's London Attic
This one is located on the roofs of two buildings at once.It is inhabited by a girl with a whole list of talents and two cats, but the most interesting thing here is the zoning method. The level changes at every step, the furniture flows from room to room, and the staircase can replace several functional zones at once. A miracle, not an attic.
4. Interior-transformer
This is truly it!All functional zones are tied here to one very curious idea - three movable modules. Just imagine: slightly move the bookcase - and open to the world a kitchen ready for the most daring culinary experiments. One more movement - and the bedroom is ready to give you the sweetest dreams. Do you like to move furniture? This interior is for you. You will definitely not get bored!
5. Half of the apartment for the kitchen
In this Taiwanese studio House DesignThe main emphasis is on the owners' greatest passion - cooking. The kitchen here has become not only the semantic axis, but also the center of attraction for everyone entering the apartment. The living room, dining room and kitchen in this interior are one single space. Thanks to this, someone can cook, someone can watch TV, and someone can enjoy the delicacies stored in the refrigerator, and at the same time the whole company can communicate with each other. As for unusual things, there are more than enough of them here. How do you like the mint-colored metro tiles? It goes well with the yellow supports of the kitchen island, doesn't it? Have you ever seen such a variety of wall finishes within one room - glossy surfaces, brick, concrete, tiles and natural wood? No? Neither have we.
6. Vintage apartment with a back entrance and lots of mirrors
The obvious advantage of this, of course, wasa strange but very effective combination of loft and vintage style. Classic forms, expensive textiles and nostalgic details are comfortably placed in the brick walls of a pre-revolutionary house. In our opinion, it turned out stylish, luxurious and homely. In this case, the brick does not bring even a shadow of rudeness. Quite the opposite, the walls turn this cleaned interior into a “living” house with a history and an extremely interesting future.
7. Apartment for 95 million dollars: why so much money?
And really, what can you buy for such a round dollar?amount? Seven bedrooms? Stylish design? Prestigious area? Yes, all this does cost money, but the view from the window is still more expensive, and it is absolutely priceless. Have you ever seen clouds right outside the window? No, they are not from above. From below. This apartment is located in a penthouse on the… 96th floor.
8. Crazy loft for a crazy English couple
Rusty metal, in our opinion, is hardly possiblecall it a suitable finishing material. But real professionals do not eat their bread in vain. In front of you is a ceiling turned inside out. Rusty metal panels are "scattered" across the ceiling and, surprisingly, wonderfully coexist with glossy surfaces and natural wood. It turned out spectacular.
9. Black in the interior
What do you associate the color black with?With fear, uncertainty and emptiness? It's time to change the associative series, from now on black will become the standard of style and taste for you. Thanks to the skillful work of designers with textures and geometry, it does not look gloomy at all. Black here shimmers with mystery and luxury. Rough textures of unprocessed stone coexist with marble and mirrors, expanding, breaking and multiplying the space. Yes, beauty can be like that.
10. Surreal apartment for a young couple
Have you been to India?Exoticism awaits at every step and even in the houses. This is a striking example of the patriotism and courage of its creators. On the one hand, there is an obvious national flavor, on the other, surrealism literally flows down the walls. However, despite all the fantastic nature of the space, the interior turned out to be unusually functional. A separate pleasure is the abyss of ideas that can be safely applied even in the conditions of our northern latitudes.
