Transformer apartment

 

A convertible 60sqm apartment divided lengthwise by a  multi-functional plywood structure, designed by Russian architect Vlad Mishin.

“Main part of transforming blocks creates space of a common room. It is three rotating blocks, main one has tv-panel. Block rotates on its axis and it makes possible to look tv from different places- bedroom, kitchen and common room. Two other blocks are folding and auxiliary, they also serve as door opening to bedroom.”

studio in the mist

Anza Dance studio by Beijing based architects Tsutsumi and Associates. This rather small studio is lined with mirrors covered in tiny graduated dots to create the illusion of a mist thus the illusion of a larger space . The floor and the lighting is great too!

Inovative Implants

This bright, futuristic excess is not a scene from a sci-fi movie but is where you have your teeth done. If you happen to live in Tokyo, that is.

Crusch Alba

It is true that the most interesting houses are the ones that architects designing for themselves, when their clients’ whimps are the own ones. Architect Gus Wüstemann renovated this apartment in Barcelona’s in Barrio Gotico for his family . He  has installed a white, intersecting bathroom and kitchen ‘zones’ in the shape of a white cross (crusch alba). The bright cross illuminates the dark back part of the flat and more importantly he allows for a number of ‘possibilities’ of spaces to take place, like for example the bathtub that becomes a kids lounge.

Some might say that the spaces created on the cross look rather akward and spartan. But WeWasteTime says that any spatial experiment that moves away from the typical appartment organization and finaly finds a way to abolish corridors can not be but a good thing!
