Steve Sauer's 182-square-foot Seattle condo shows the value of a good fit, from the soaking tub built into the entry floor to the "video lounge" tucked beneath the "cafe area." Sauer shopped Ikea for many of his home's furnishings, such as a little table,and used tabletops to fashion cabinet fronts.
Steve Sauer watches television in the video lounge, which has seating for two.
The horizontal band around the condo, accenting the powder-blue walls, is coated with blackboard paint.
Sauer relaxes in the cafe area of his 182-square-foot condo.
"I was worried as I filled in all the upper spaces that it would feel cramped, but it didn't," he says.
The window is at street level. The little table is Ikea. It has a glass top that swivels open, providing storage.
Sauer checks his messages at the dining table, which includes a leaf to expand for company.The undercounter refrigerator is Frigidaire, from Lowe's.
Sauer designed the tiny condo for two. Just inside the door is the bathroom
to the left, and a soaking tub inserted into the floor and covered with a 3form Chroma panel.
One bike is tethered to the ceiling for storage. Steam heat comes from the building's system.
The ventilation chimney runs across Sauer's ceiling, and was easy to pipe into. "It was passing through here anyway."
The video lounge is tucked beneath the cafe area and next to the dining table.
"All along the way this project's had good chi, so that's good," Sauer says.
The bureau is from West Elm. "It fit to within 1/8 inch. It was a nice find.
I didn't want to build another piece of furniture." The floor is Brazilian walnut.
The bathroom wall is covered in 1-inch tiles from Tiles for Less.
Light filters into the room through a 3form Chroma panel, shared with the kitchen.
The ceiling is tempered glass meant for a table top from Ikea. The toilet is Philippe Stark for Duravit.
Sauer designed and manufactured the stainless-steel shower caddy and towel bar.
