Two enterprising architects Michael Chen and Kari Anderson from Michael Chen Architecture PLLC have created a design project for a small apartment in New York.
To say that it turned out well is an understatement.Great design in everything – in shapes and colors. It turned out to be a lively twist. The old saying “a little goes a long way” would best suit the design concept. The task of the team of architects was to create a living space for a single man living in Manhattan, who loves to have fun and sometimes works from home. The ambition of the project is to implement ideas in a studio apartment of only 122 m². The owner should not feel cramped and claustrophobic. Flexible space is created due to the transformable module. Various configurations allow you to turn the room into a bedroom, home office, kitchen cabinet or even a small library, where the customer keeps his collection of books. Greater functionality is achieved thanks to handles and knobs located at different heights. Thus, the owner can open or close the sections of the module he needs.
A vibrant island in a chic blue sits between the compact kitchen and cozy mid-century modern dining area.
The designers have provided for a layout even onthe occasion of guests arriving. The ottoman from Design Within Reach and the chairs from Eames are just right for this. Simple white roller blinds on the windows allow sunlight to penetrate almost unhindered. Sufficient light, very relevant for New York, is another undeniable advantage of the project.
Another advantage of this type of space organization is that the owner is forced to keep everything in order!
At first glance it looks unusual. What do you think?
