 Rent to Own.ph:  Live and work in a space less than 30 sqm! 

As more people look toward securing jobs across borders, the introduction of this fresh lodging concept for global nomads couldn’t be timelier. 

Say hello to ‘Zoku’–the home office loft and antithesis of the hotel room. 

This brainchild of co-founders Hans Meyer and Marc Jongerius has been created based on a simple idea: building a place where occupants can live, work and socialize with like-minded people. 

With the help of architecture firm Concrete and UK-based consultancy The Future Laboratory, ‘Zoku’ has adopted a smart design that incorporates space saving features such as an elevated sleeping area that can be accessed via a retractable staircase. 

‘Zoku’ will make its debut in Amsterdam in autumn 2015, and the team plans to open it in the most creative cities across the globe, including Berlin, Paris and London.

Using Cabinet and Closet Doors for Storage

from: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com

Rent To Own.ph: The backs of our closet doors are forgotten opportunities! Check out these simple ideas on how to utilize them and create a wonderfully organized space!

In small spaces, a lot of things go on behind closed doors, but how often do we really think about the doors themselves? While we're all familiar with over-the-door organizers, few of us really consider the the possibilities that the back of the door can offer as an useful area. But in a small space, using the door can give you that extra little bit of room and functionality.

Boring Garage Turned into Fancy Small Home in Seattle

Rent to Own.ph: That ramshackle shed or garage is a diamond in the rough! We only need to open our creative minds to see the possibilities!

Have you ever imagined that your old, boring garage in the backyard could actually be turned into a cool new home? If not, that’s exactly what Seattle-based artist, designer, and welder Michelle de la Vega has done with her 250 square feet small garage — after a great makeover she turned it into the practical and adorable retreat.

Although the place is small (make that very small) it still manages to fit in a fireplace to warm the room in those cold and damp Seattle evenings, a rather comfy suspended bed built on the house’s beams, along with other clever space-saving solutions. All these make this mini home look … grand. And chic. And adorable. And functional.And speaking of being functional, most of the fixtures and the furniture were custom-made for the house or were salvaged or re-purposed by Michelle.

Definitely looks better in brown. I can’t say more than this being a great job of maximizing a tiny space and making every square foot useful. Like it?
