Apartment in Stockholm Encapsulating A Glass-Walled Bedroom


interior-modern-apartment apartment-Swedish-design ideas-modern-apartment modern-apartment-2 modern-apartment-6 modern-apartment-8

This small apartment in Stockhom, Sweden impressed us with its original layout and stylish decorating scheme. Discovered by Freshome on Svensk Fastighets, the 34 square-meter crib displays comfortable living spaces with a powerful aesthetic appeal. The first interior you are likely to observe upon entering this apartment is the bedroom, creatively separated from the rest of the project through glass walls. Pebbles under the bed, a giant mirror and framed graphics contribute to the Scandinavian personality of this space. A series of accent items such as the coffee table, the candles or the fireplace give the apartment a mixed ambiance, a touch of rusticity and  traditionalism, connecting the crib with the historic character of the building. The living zone, kitchen and dining table are organized in an open layout. And when it comes to Scandinavian apartments, an irresistible terrace is a must. In this case, the small balcony extends living spaces, creating a charming venue for having coffee and breakfast during warm summer mornings.

Here’s a unique interior project that will the turn heads of any Marvel super fan. From the creators at House Design, it was their mission to design a space that could become a hero’s retreat. The apartment’s owner wanted his own fortress where he could sit back and relax after a long day at work. The results are a bit industrial, but with all the comforts of modern day life with extra subtle details, this is the interior a superhero will appreciate.

Manhattan Micro Loft By Specht Harpman Architects


Specht-Harpman-Micro-Loft-2-render-600x652 Specht-Harpman-Micro-Loft-1

It’s really hard to make 425 square feet look spacious but Specht Harpman Architects managed to do just that in this once awkward New York City apartment that’s set at the top of a six-story building. By creating  living platforms, they were able to accommodate all the necessities an apartment might need while keeping the space open and bright. Helping with that was the fact that they were working with over 24 feet of vertical space, making it possible to create the multiple layers of  rooms. The compact bathroom is hidden away on the bottom floor beneath the staircase. While the kitchen is small, it remains open to the living room. They kept the cabinets and countertops white which helps keep it bright and airy. Every detail was kept simple as not to overwhelm the tight quarters and it really appears larger than the actual square footage. Up the first set of stairs you have the bedroom layer which seems to almost float above the living room below.

Space-Saving Suspended Bed in a Modern London Apartment

Good urban architectural design takes space and aesthetic into account, allowing them to work in unison, much like this efficient London apartment in Camden. While some compact residences use a modular design to create the visual effect of more space, this particular English home opts to design vertically by featuring a suspended bed overhead. This innovative apartment allows inhabitants to have more walking room on the ground floor without disrupting the tastefully modern design. The bed hangs above the living area like an elegant, simple balcony with a equally complementing staircase leading up to it. The bed is also situated below a retractable glass skylight that leads to a 500-square-foot rooftop garden. It proves that smaller living spaces don’t mean cramped, unattractive environments.

29 Square Meters


29squaremeters_00

As the name suggests, “29 square meters” is an apartment which covers exactly that amount of space (roughly 312 sq ft). Located in Wroclaw, Poland, the tiny home has been efficiently maximized by local architecture firm 3XA, who added a semi-mezzanine (an entire second floor level was not possible due to the restricting 12ft ceilings) above the bathroom and hallway, allowing for a rather spacious sleeping area. Below, the living room, kitchen and dining area were all knocked into one open-plan space, giving a sense of freedom and airiness. Additionally, to deceive the senses, a door leading to nowhere was added to one of the walls.

With a total of 1,937 square feet of living space, (590 sqm), the Florence-based studio q-bic had a lot to do with this 19th century industrial roof. And yet what has been lead was minimalist design, and all open loft to enjoy warmness. Besides this minimalist style, the whole apartment actually uses old pallets to keep a touch of ecology.

The World’s First Hermes-Decorated Apartment.


Luxury property developer SC Global Developments has unveiled a private apartment decorated by Hermès at its flagship development, The Marq on Paterson Hill in Singapore.  This is the first apartment entirely decorated by Hermès and SC Global said it will not be for sale, but to be used only for private engagements.

The spacious 6,232 sq ft five-bedroom apartment features a combination of furniture, wallpaper, carpets, fabrics, rugs along with made-to-measure upholstered items and a choice of artworks.  Simon Cheong, Chairman and CEO of SC Global, said the collaboration with the Paris-based Hermès lasted for 18 months to create the unique atmosphere.

“By realising for the first time, a complete project of home decoration and furnishings, we also share with SC Global a unique experience and express our high quality values of excellence and craftsmanship in the home universe,” noted Hélène Dubrule, General Manager of Hermès Maison.

The Marq has 66 exclusive residences on a 1.2-hectare ground. The units consist of high-end bungalows within a luxury high-rise apartment setting.  The development’s unique design features include airy double-volume (6.5 metre high) living spaces providing panoramic views of the city skyline and a 15-metre cantilevered lap pool in every apartment of the Signature Tower.

Apartment sizes range from 3,000 sq ft for a 4-bedroom apartment in the Premier Tower to 6,195 sq ft for a 5-bedroom apartment in The Signature Tower.

The Best Loft In The SOMA District Of San Francisco.


Step inside 110 Freelon through the laser optics lit, steel tube pathway, and you’ve entered SoMa’s most brilliantly designed live-work loft environment, all set on a quiet side street in the perfect location of SoMa (South of Market), a neighborhood in San Francisco. Developed by the current owner with consulting from Martin Building Company, this astounding residence offers up an incredibly dramatic entertaining and living environment boasting unparalleled features and amenities. Set across over 5,000 square feet of total living space (4,400+indoor living) and featuring multiple levels of mezzanines, this residence is a work in visual intrigue and functionality. Converted from an original warehouse structure, the property’s radiant heated hardwood floors were salvaged from a Los Angeles airplane hangar and pay homage to that original hangar use reflected by nearly 30 foot exposed timber and white-washed ceilings. The roof line is adorned with multiple skylights including a 16 x 20 foot retractable center skylight that literally brings the outdoors inside. Listed here for the asking price of $3,100,000.

Clock Tower Penthouse Up For Grabs.


I’m not too keen into real estate, but for some odd reason (probably due to some of the homes I post on up on this Blog), some of my friends keep asking me to help them on their high-budget house hunts.  During one of my recent procrastination sessions both my assistant and I came across this.  The New York Times took a look inside the triplex penthouse of Brooklyn’s ClockTower Building — where the most striking features are the four 14′ clocks housed in gigantic round windows. The ‘DUMBO’ building was built by a cardboard box manufacturer and renovated by ‘DUMBO’ developer David Walentas. The approximately 6,400 square foot apartment is on the market for $25 million — “more than double the highest price known to have been paid for a home in Brooklyn.” In addition to the clocks and amazing views, the triplex features 16 foot ceilings on the main level and central glass elevator and floating staircase.  I’d never be late for work again.

An Apartment That Changes With The Seasons.


The archetics Tham and Videgard Hansson have a custom apartemnt at the Humlegarden in Stockholm, Germany.  Departing from the traditional swedish interior use of color and patterns that were developed by artists and architects like carl larsson and josef frank, this apartment relates directly to the settings at the humlegården park where the greenery outside changes with the season.  From winter grey and black, to summertime bright and deep green, to orange, red and yellow in autumn, the different rooms of the apartment reflect the change in seasons.  Check the method below.
