Sibling Spaces: Modular Rooms Made for Brother & Sister

For getting things done: a static, serious and refined work space is shared by the siblings. For everything else: there is a playful flexibility to be found in movable modules, hanging hammocks, cozy nooks and hidden ladders.

Designed by Ruetemple for a family in Moscow, Russia, this children-centric interior balances the need for serious engagement with studies and self-determination outside of school-related activity (plus perhaps lessons in sharing and diplomacy all around).

On the main level, across from the work zone with its ergonomic chairs and built-in shelves, is a three-piece system of modular parts – set apart visually via the use of darker wood.

The constituent elements can be spun and situated on demand, turned into a hangout space, living room or bedroom (or whatever else the kids can come up with, for that matter).

Upstairs under a slanted roof are nooks for sleeping, reading and storage that can be made into more private bedrooms, again allowing freedom for self-determination in terms of sleeping arrangements.

The hammock is naturally a permeable mesh, and allows light to pass from one level to the next while also making use of what would otherwise be lost potential floor space.

A Micro Apartment Designed by Muji, the Masters of Simplicity

From: http://www.wired.com/

Rent to Own.ph: An effortlessly uncomplicated apartment.

IT WAS ONLY a matter of time until Muji—the Japanese retailer that’s mastered the art of selling minimal, affordable, design-forward products for the home—would design a micro apartment of their own. Muji, after all, is one of the most popular chains in Japan, where kyosho jutaku, a trend toward smaller houses, has for years driven real estate developers to create tinier, more inventive homes. Some are even as small as a parking space.

At first blush, the thought of buying your home from the same place you found a bathroom wastebasket is ludicrous. But Muji isn’t like other chains. When it opened in the 1980s it was a little like Uniqlo for the home—its products were understaetd, reasonably priced, and designed in-house. It championed transparent packaging and generating less product waste long before popular products like KIND bars or Nike FlyKnit ever existed. Muji also skipped heavy branding, and relied on word of mouth and reliable merchandise, instead of advertising, to drum up sales. Today, it’s kept to its minimalist looks, but has expanded to include apps, loungewear, food, and of course, apartments.

Muji’s vertical Tokyo apartment is a three-story prefab unit. It eschews ceilings and walls for an airy space connected by a couple of staircases. The first floor houses utilities and storage, the second floor has a dining room and living room, and the third floor is reserved for bedrooms. The insulated apartment has only one air conditioning unit on the third floor, presumably because heat rises, making the home more energy efficient than houses with several extra appliances.
