Red Light Districts are commonly littered with many a nook and cranny, dark corners where anything and anybody can lurk, or hide. It would not necessarily be the place to start if you wanted to develop a homestead. But Belgian architects Silvia Mertens and Pieter Peerlings saw an opportunity in Antwerp's former Red Light District, in a space just 2.4m wide, to develop their idea of a home and the headquarters for their business, Sculp(IT).

Functional Cabinet

Install a wall-mounted shelf to keep baking supplies off the counter but within easy reach. Double the shelf's utility by adding hooks to hang towels, pot holders, and tools. 

Pin up items to be kept out of sight, such as rubber gloves, sponges, and plastic bags, on the inside of a cabinet door. Using hot glue, affix magnets to the back of plain clothespins, and glue the other magnets directly to the door.

11 Decor Ideas That Will Change Your Rental Apartment (Without Risking Your Security Deposit)

from: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

Rent to Own.ph: Being tenants in an apartment limit our say in its design, but these simple ideas can recreate a boring look into one that is truly your own.

Renting instead of owning definitely has its perks -- you have the flexibility of changing up your location when your lease is over, there's no need to worry about property taxes and, more often than not, home repairs are not taking a toll on your wallet. Certainly not a bad deal. But the one major drawback? It can be a bit tricker for renters to create a space that is truly their own while still ensuring the security deposit is waiting for them when they do leave. So we've rounded up the easy, budget-friendly things all renters need to know in order to make their place home sweet home (and not upset the landlord along the way).

A 430 sq ft Rennovated Apartment in Tel Aviv

From: http://www.littlediggs.com

This is another excellent example of the use of a 'cube' as a solution for maximizing space, utility, functionality, and design.

Following Tel-Aviv’s soaring housing prices over the last 3 years, many people were forced to renovate their existing apartments instead of selling and buying bigger ones.

This owner decided to transform her studio apartment into a 1 bedroom, including storage units, a large separate kitchen and a full size queen bedroom.

As a design solution, we chose to condense all the programmatic functions and storage units into a cube which was centered in the middle of the space, thus dividing the apartments into 4 zones, while maintaining a 360 degree circulation around it, which makes the space seem endless and bigger than it actually is.

By adding sliding doors that disappear into the cube, the space can be altered according to the time of day and the various needs of the owner, contributing further more to the sense of a multi-functional and multi-layered space.
