Innovative Compact Kitchen Design for Small Apartments

By Rent to Own

From http://www.designswan.com

Designed by Kristin Laass and Norman Ebelt from Germany, this clever project is called “Small Type” and it has the wonderful and extremely practical ability of fitting in almost any interior, no matter how tiny.













This kitchen module is intended to fit into the small spaces and accommodate the diverse habits of its users. The focus of the prototype is to provide a smooth work cycle and intuitive operation to those using the kitchen. At only 1m² when closed, ‘small type’ serves as a dining table. When the table is rolled away, the full capability of the kitchen unit is revealed with a refrigerator, induction cook-top, oven, and storage space.












This design is not only practical, but also looks amazing. It could easily be complemented by a simple set of chairs in order to create a cozy work area.

34sqm. condo that turns into 24 rooms!!!

In Hong Kong, because of the space, apartments are small and expensive. Gary Chang, an architect, decided to design a 344 sq. ft. apartment to be able to change into 24 different designs, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls this the "Domestic Transformer."

Incredible Space Maximization in a Small Studio Apartment

by www.renttoown.ph

I got this from www.freshome.com

You’ve seen a lot of ingenious ideas on how to decorate small apartments on Freshome. Here is another tiny crib that manages to maximize space and create a cozy living environment as well. The East Village Studio comes from JPDA Architects, stretches over an area of 46 square meters (500 square feet) and was built as a little “nest” for the owners who also work here. It has all the utilities a common looking contemporary home has and dare we say a lot more. This original crib has storage space and shelves in the most unusual and unexpected places, reducing clutter and contributing to a clean and fresh interior design. The wood gives this home its warmth which is “intensified” by the friendly vegetation pots spread around the open studio.
