How from a small narrow apartment of 40square meters to make a home with a separate bedroom, living room, comfortable kitchen and dressing room? And is it even possible? Easy! A real example is in our article With constantly rising housing prices, people are increasingly trying to expand the available space in their apartments in every possible way, rather than buy expensive new apartments. The owner of 40 square meters of living space in Tel Aviv did the same. Having set the designers a difficult task - to create a full-fledged separate bedroom, a living room for receiving guests, a large comfortable kitchen and dressing room in such a small space - the owner of the house seemed to challenge the designers from SFARO Architects, which they, by the way, accepted and successfully coped with the tasks. And how practical their extraordinary solution turned out to be, judge for yourself.
Very unusual layout
The specialists wanted to move away from the usual, but,Given the area of the room, they had few options. Therefore, they dared to place a large snow-white parallelepiped in the center of the studio, from floor to ceiling, and "stuff" it as much as possible. Moreover, this voluminous rectangle can be freely walked around from all sides, which is also quite convenient. The non-standard approach also consists in the fact that inside the structure there is a full-fledged bathroom, and each side of the figure performs its own special function, thanks to which the practical component of the apartment has reached a qualitatively new level.
Basics of Minimalism
But first things first.Right from the entrance we can either get into the bedroom, if the partition is not closed, or go along the corridor, which has nothing superfluous, except for a hanger, a door leading to the bathroom, and several bookshelves. It is interesting that the floor in the entire studio is monochromatic, the absence of sharp transitions makes the apartment more harmonious. And given the small area and good visibility of the room, this is also a very wise decision. Minimalism also reigns in the living room, eliminates the need to acquire a bulky cabinet, and a glass table with legs in the same tone as the floor does not visually eat up space, which is also beneficial for small apartments.
More light!
Considering that the wall decoration in the apartments— white, there is plenty of light in the rooms, not to mention the kitchen. Three windows illuminating the work surface for cooking will allow you not to miss even the smallest detail. At the same time, the kitchen, built in one row, is quite spacious and comfortable, and also boasts a large number of cabinets, drawers and a fairly large refrigerator.
Right to privacy
The owner's desire to make a closed bedroomThe designers played around with it a bit and came up with a slightly different solution. If necessary, the room can easily be separated with retractable partitions, but the rest of the time it is better for the space to remain walk-through and free, in order to avoid a cramped and oppressive atmosphere of limitation. And a small dressing room is built into the same snow-white parallelepiped. , like the other rooms, is made in the samesame style. The only thing is that there is not enough natural light here, but this is more than compensated by multi-level artificial lighting. Again, how practical this project turned out to be, everyone will judge for themselves, but the fact that it is extraordinary and deserves attention is beyond any doubt.archdaily.com
