The good folks from Japanese studio Suppose Design Office are behind this amazing residential project in Sakuragawa, Japan. A spacious interior with a limited floor plan, the minimalist house covers a small 50sqm plot with a split-level layout that is spread over three floors. Featuring a massive bay-window to overlook the nearby park, lots of wood furnishings, large spaces and a bunch of white stairs. And although we can’t see any rooms, doors, separating walls or furniture, it still looks like a nice modern addition to a crowding environment where space has become a real commodity.

 

 

If you are looking to make the most of your living space, you need to think about what functions the room needs to be able to fulfill in order to make you happy. Good living room designs and ideas for a small studio apartment will ensure that it is definitely possible to make any room work well regardless of its size. If you have a small room, you need to look for furniture that is not too big and objects that will not overwhelm the space.  

If your living space has to double as a bedroom, it is definitely a good idea to get rid of the bed. There are so many good alternatives to choose from and you can get them for a really good price. Why have a big bed in the space that will take up the much needed space in the room. Always try to look for alternatives in order to give you the best results and a more streamline studio.

One solution is to if you choose a sofa bed for the living area. You can ensure that the room is multi functional. You have the seating available when friends come over to visit and you can quickly adapt it into your bed when you are ready to go to sleep. Some people prefer a futon sofa bed as an alternative. Whatever you decide, make sure it is not too bulky for the space and that it fits in with the overall colour scheme of the room.

One of the most important things that you should do when you are thinking living room designs and ideas for a small space is to make a list of all the items that you will need for your studio apartment, then find out which items can be multi functional and which items can be found in smaller sizes. Try to do everything possible to get clutter to a minimum so that your home feels spacious no matter what the size is.

Designed by Nunatak Architectes, this amazingly unique house is located in a picturesque valley of Switzerland.

A few months ago everybody was crazy about a movie called Twilight. Twilight is a love story movie between a human and a vampire. They’re modern vampires and live in a modern house. Usually I don’t speak about architecture in the movies here on Freshome, but when I saw the movie I really liked that house, and that’s why I’ve decided to post it today. The Hoke House was designed by architect Jeff Kovel via ‘Skylab Architecture’ it’s 4300 squares, built by Metcalf Constrution, with Lucy Metcalf as the interior designer and landscaper. The house was designed for Nike executive John Hoke and his family and appeared in the film Twilight.  Hoke really liked the idea of his house being used as the home to a family of sophisticated vampires and allowed filming to proceed in both the interiors and exteriors. Because of his profession, members of the production team dubbed the structure the “Nike House.” The Cullen house is supposedly located just outside of Forks, WA.
