What can make a person live at 16square meters, except for an acute financial need? As it turns out, you can make such a decision quite consciously. The owner of this tiny thing does not need free space, he is happy with what he has. Take a look at this 16-meter apartment with three living levels and try to imagine who could live here. A student, a builder, an ascetic architect? Steve Sauer, the owner of this apartment, is a certified designer and is currently busy organizing engineering systems for the interior of Boeings.
Steve Sawyer was specifically looking for a smallapartment, because you don't need much space for a bed, table and sofa. Empty space is wasteful and pointless. But high ceilings are very convenient and functional. Thanks to such "wealth", the owner of the house managed to place two full-size sleeping places, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom with a shower - all in only 16 square meters.
But the most interesting thing about this apartment islack of a clear plan and calculation. Here, everything happened almost by itself. The owner admits that he doesn’t like to draw up plans at all, but simply keeps all the components in his head until he collects the details. Incidentally, Steve Sawyer searched for these very details all over the Internet, for example, the plumbing crossed the ocean, reaching the new owner from Germany.
When the owner can't find what he needsnecessary, he creates it himself or resorts to the help of the almighty IKEA. Steve claims that there are no hopeless situations and cramped apartments, there are only owners who always want more.
