Hoover: A lady from Somerset, England solved a problem by creating a vertical herb garden. Below is the step by step process that ANYONE can follow. This is a great idea especially for those living in condominiums and apartments with a little balcony space to spare.

''How to solve a problem like cats digging and toileting in the vegetable patch'', and growing vegetables in a very small garden. I needed a solution and the answer occurred to me after watching The Chelsea Flower Show on TV and seeing walls of flowers and herbs. The only thing I had on hand was a hanging pocket shoe storage and I decided to use it to grow my plants in.

Furniture Transformer – Boxetti Collection


Hoover: More and more companies are coming out with new ideas on compact furniture systems which are expensive at the moment but might become more reasonably priced in the future. Obviously, small spaces benefit the most from these types of furniture. It is exciting to see new ideas on future living concepts! 

Boxetti collection is one of the most fancy furniture designs I’ve ever seen. It is driven by three basic design principles – functionality, advanced technologies and contemporary aesthetics of minimalism. Each of Boxetti modules is designed to achieve maximum efficiency of particular demands for functionality and suitability. The capability of the modules to be transformed into compactly solid blocks is essential for the design concept in order to obtain an unobstructed and comfortable space – free of uselessness.

The closer you come to the center of a city the more difficult it is to find unused space available for new construction, except perhaps at the cost of all-too-valuable public parks and other civic places.Building above and below bridges is thus of increasing interest to engaged urban designers around the world.

The 120 x 85 x 75 cm size piece of furniture is composed of eight different modules, which are connected by an interlocking construction system to form a rectangular object. Drawn up in a reduced style, the compact body of the Transformer can be expanded through the active use of the drawer elements, simultaneously revealing the open inner structure. There are overall 20 different possibilities to insert elements in different sizes. The harmonised arrangement of shelf areas, recesses and lateral notches offers a maximal effective area of the modules, which are assimilated to standardised measure-ments. The cumulative height of the object, for example, corresponds to the dimensions of a worktable, while the drawer slots are in accordance with DIN. With a potential extended size of up to 3,7 meters per side the Transformer not only functions as a fluid shelving system, as a free-standing piece of furniture with a levitating character it can also serve as a partition.

Open+Hidden: Space-Saver Dining Room & Kitchen Concept



Hoover: More space-saving, eco-friendly furnitures!

www.renttoown.ph
Conserving energy, reusing and recycling are all well and good sustainable living strategies, but reducing waste in the first place – particularly when it comes to home construction – is perhaps the most important step in saving on power and materials costs. Powered by rooftop solar energy, this transforming kitchen emerges for meals and then disappears at the push of a button to make way for movement and gathering space.

Sustainable Cabin at Texas Tech


Living in a trailer carries with it a certain stigma but this didn’t stop Urs Peter Flueckiger and his students at the College of Architecture, the College of Visual and Performing Arts, and the College of Engineering atTexas Tech University from requisitioning part of a derelict doublewide and turning it into the prefabricated Sustainable Cabin. Destined for a landfill, the professor et al. extensively remodeled a section to test sustainable architectural concepts in construction materials and techniques, with the end goal of better understanding their methods and applications.
