small home office interior

This is another interior that I'm working on, but this time with colleague of mine. Again low budget, and most of the furniture is already in client's possession (as those office tables, chairs and shelves). Currently, this is an attic that has no final finish (lower photo).  This used to be a roof terrace that's been transformed into a space that will be used for a small office of a family business, and later it might become a living area. You can still see 'the beams' that used to be decoration on the terrace that we decided to keep since they have an interesting impact to the atmosphere. Also, they are making the sealing hight look bigger since it is bellow the minimum standard. Lot of challenges but as more challenges, more fun. :)

IKEA LÄCKÖ chair

This is a new chair from IKEA. Very cute and romantic. I needed it for the design I'm working on now, so I did the model of it (according to the dimensions they provide and by the eye judgement :))

Living room

I'm trying to do a bit of a renew of my living room without huge investments. All of the elements exist but in different colors than in a model. For instance: small cube under the tv is blue right now, coffee tables are brown, tabure is yellow and the wardrobe is also yellow (this used to be my sister's student's room :) ). Three walls are light yellow and one is blue. 

So now I'm trying to make it a bit modern with simple, cool colors. All of the transformations I'm about to do by myself. I'm going to use some help from the neighbors for painting the walls :).

I'm going to paint all of the furniture in white or silver. The effect that I want I'll probably get with auto spray. The finishing of the wardrobe will have the foto 'wallpaper' - sticker that I'm going to print specially for it. Also, I will remove the current handles and I might put new handles. Or leave it without them. 

In this option the tabure is white, with the new fabric that I'm going to saw for it. But looking at this picture, I'm feeling kind of nasty :) and do it in fake fur with zebra or leopard (syberian one hehe).

The lamps are going to be from IKEA, on a bit longer cable.

An idea coming to life

Small, smaller, smallest!

So, here I am stuck in a small space and incredible demands of the client. They are renewing the room cause they need a double bed instead of single, but they wanted to preserve the wardrobe size and if it's possible to widen it. Also, they need a working table inside the room. There's a radiator desirable to keep the position under smaller window.

The solution consists of a package of a double bed near the window but with the box for the blankets and stuff. Also it can be used as a shelf for books. Working table is designed with minimal components - just a slab on two leaning points. Wardrobe is even bigger than previous and designed with the sliding doors. LCD TV is mounted on the wall and positioned for watching from the bed.

It's small and over stuffed but it has all that clients need and it feels cozy inside. Nice ambient to stuck yourself in for warm up and relax in the incoming winter days...

And no, it's not me sitting on the couch :).

Creativity vs. low budget

Due to low budget that we have for this project we have to restrict everywhere we can but still try to make it quality in every way, so ceramic tiles used here are from local producer. They are not quite the best there is on the market, but they are pretty much ok for the price.

Sanitary ware is something we don't want to save money on. I've picked modern designed once that will keep the simplicity of space.

Relaxing

I was working on these designs for the partner company of the company I work for. It should just be in marketing purposes (to sell the apartments) but I got carried away...I just couldn't resist :)
The apartments are positioned in the elite part of Belgrade.

Widening with packageing

After some client's wishes and demands, I came to this solution. It should be detailed during the process.

maybe...

Finally cleaning my own garden :). Trying to gain more space and better functionality with the updated furniture. Bigger fridge... Green furniture allready exist, also some of the gray once, I just need to combine them right with the new once. Also, the boxes above the table allready exist and they are allready fixed at this particular space. Radiator needs just a slight move, witch is not a problem. This dining table I allready have, just currently it's finish is natural wooden surface colour. I just need to paint it to black and it'll be perfect! For now :). The aspirator above the stove is missing in this picture...it definitely need more work out but seems to me this is pretty much better than current situation visually and functionally.

Just another apartment...

Just another apartment presentation that my company is building. This is not interior design project, the furniture is placed only in order to show reliable space of an apartment. And off course, it is suppose to be 'pleasant' for the eye. In another words: we are selling it! :)

widening

The task here was to transform multi (small) room apartment into 'clear space' one. The client wanted to tear down some of the walls to gain wider space. The main problem was to divide new space and adjust it to the existing construction and installation block (near the kitchen) witch are not possible to change and at the same time avoiding long illogic hallways. 

By further workout on this apartment I've figured out that it can be even better 'packed'. The first change was the toilet that I didn't get the info about (I just got the drawings without the elements) - it can't be moved, although I've 'standardized' it since it was ridiculously small. The second thing the client wanted was the sink under the bar. Than I got to an idea that I could make two line kitchen, gain more space and avoid complications as thinking where would we move the radiators. They are at the same place just slightly moved. 

When you work as an architect you get all kinds of strange demands. This guy's demand was to make the entrance to the wardrobe from the hallway and he wanted to enter the bathroom directly from the bedroom. As I explained to him, wardrobe is usually used as tampon zone between the bedroom and the bathroom AND suppose to be private. I think I've convinced him this is a better solution, but just in case I'm giving him a glimpse of what his idea would look like and that can also be done (presented with red dashed line).

At the end, I gave him two variants of the hall. One with the wardrobe (for coats and shoes) for both him/his partner and the guests, and another one with those two divided.

Since he asked me so many questions last time we talked (he's not so good in understanding the space) I wrote him notes so he does :). They are in Serbian, I was really lazy to make the version in English and I all explained it above. :)

refresh!

A glimp of what I'm working on these days...soon there'll be more :)
