“We had to find a way to have drawers for knives, forks, and all of that, so we put that in the curved end as that was the only space left! We managed to squeeze it in and make it a feature for the kitchen”.
–Nina Tolstrup, Studiomama
“The dining nook really becomes a continuation of the kitchen; it’s probably our favourite part of the apartment. It’s just so nice sitting and being hugged by that corner window … We custom built the seat and cushions and included some storage underneath”.
– Brad Swartz, Brad Swartz Architects
“In the living room, the function wall consists of a built-in sofa, underneath the sofa are some drawers with mirrored fronts, so they look like they almost aren’t there and that the sofa is lighter”.
–Nicholas Gurney, designer
“The designing of small spaces encourages the optimisation of resources, and it also demonstrates how the quality of living does not depend on the size of the space, but on the ability to optimise what already exists”.
–Giulia Salandini, CLAB Architettura
“The whole apartment is about flexibility. We wanted to create as big of a free space as possible, where you could work, you could entertain, you could relax, you could dance in your apartment”.
–Ashkan Mostaghim, architect, Mostaghim
“We wanted to live in a fully equipped and functional space that could fit our musical instruments and many other important objects, while maintaining an airy central space”.
– Cristiana Felgueiras, GET HANDS DIRTY
