Sometimes in the process of registration of small-sizedareas, it is worth stepping back from the rules and turning on your extraordinary imagination. For example, the owner of an apartment in Seattle, Steve Sawyer, came up with a brilliant idea: he created three floors in a limited space with walls 3.2 meters high. Amazing, isn't it?! Let's see what he got.
High ceiling and its advantages
Many people dream of buying a spaciouscomfortable housing. But Steve claims that large square meters are wasteful and inconvenient. Therefore, he found a tiny apartment for himself and made three practical and functional levels in it. The first is a full-fledged living area with a TV, the second is a home office, and the third is a bedroom. Thus, the most important and significant planning task was solved.
Unexpected storage compartments
Where to find storage places for different things –This is perhaps the most difficult question for owners of small apartments. However, Sawyer approached this problem creatively. He admitted that after traveling through Scandinavia and Japan, he was inspired by the ideas of saving square meters in the homes of savvy homeowners. So, at the entrance to his apartment, there was a small chest of drawers for clothes, and on the ceiling - compartments for storing sports equipment and other large items. In the central part of the apartment, he placed a folding table, which skillfully hides shelves with spices, cereals and dishes.
New approach to design
The owner does not want to save space in the kitchenIt turned out that way because the work surface, gas stove and sink take up a lot of space. But the owner made the toilet neatly and stylishly: in order not to turn on electric lights during the day, he hung a huge mirror opposite the window opening and it perfectly reflects the sun's rays. Steve made the towel rack and shelves for toiletries himself. He found many of the interior items in IKEA stores, and then slightly modified them so that they fit perfectly into his compact living space.
