“We love New York City, but we do not like the filth and the crowed conditions. We set out to make a small loft space seem clean, uncluttered, and open. Our concept word was cityscape. Our intention was to bring the romantic aspects of New York City into the design, such as glowing buildings at night or a sense of discovery that one feels as to what may lie around the next corner.”

“Our favorite element in the home is probably the washer/dryer tucked away in a translucent closet. Few people in New York City have a washer/dryer in their apartments.”

6 Small Space Solution

Architect Philippe Harden’s loft is 13 meters (about 42 feet) from end to end, with a total area of 57 square meters (around 613 sq. feet). Not big, in fact, it could easily fit within the dimensions of our Small Cool contest rules. In addition to looking great, it is filled with good ideas for maximizing space.

Harden removed the interior doors and walls in the unit to maximize the flow of the space and to allow him to redefine the “rooms”. An oversized framed mirror helps to visually extend the main living space.

This may be a case where the old adage: “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” doesn’t necessarily apply. Agreeing to “update” one of renowned DC architect, Hugh Newell Jabobsen’s, structures takes some guts, but the team at Apartment Zero proved to be up for the challenge, and thanks to Washington Spaces we get to see the result…

The young couple who hired Douglas Burton of Apartment Zero and his team to take on the iconic McLean, Virginia’s home’s interiors were devoted to the idea of preserving Jacobsen’s vision for the home. With that in mind, they did not endeavor a full renovation. Rather their updates were chosen to enhance the already beautiful architecture. In one room wall to wall carpet was replaced with a white marble floor (picture 2), an unfinished lofted space was completed to mirror an existing office space reached by the original orange spiral staircase (picture 4), and each room was painted bright white with one dominant accent color rather than several busy punches so as not to compete with the remarkable architecture.

When Mr. Jacobsen created the home, on of his goal’s was to infuse the space with light even though it was in the middle of a densely forested area. The crisp white interiors, clean-lined modern furniture, and brilliant spots of bold color throughout that the Apartment Zero team added certainly respect and heighten the light-drenched effect. Equally important is the approval of Mr. Jacobsen himself who is reported to have been delighted to have the deft Apartment Zero folks “lay hands on [his] work.”

Attic renovations are not in a lot of people’s favorites lists. The unusual angles make it really hard for one to come up with furniture ideas that would fit in weird places and sometimes maintenance can raise more problems than in a usual apartment.

The Atticus apartment project belongs to  Studio Damilano and is actually a make-over of an old attic space.

Every single room in this chic apartment amazes due to its great design and modern furniture approaches. Even though the space (240 sqm) is not as large as we got you used to here on Freshome, the two bedrooms, living room, two bathrooms and kitchen are more than enough for a great living.
