Space-Savvy Tiny Apartment in Poland with Mezzanine Level in Black and White

ByMyProperty Life

52 square meters of space might not seem like much when you are planning for your perfect home. But this gorgeous apartment in Lodz, Poland makes most of the limited room on offer as it adds to the existing room with a smart mezzanine floor. As you enter the apartment designed by 3XEL Architekci, you will see a tiny little niche along with a very small entry space greeting you. The small niche has been turned into a stylish alcove that holds coats and boots and does so with complete ease. A simple metallic pipe is used as a hanger for the coats and on the opposite side of it is the contemporary kitchen in black and white with a hint of gray.

Wood and white create a beautiful backdrop in the lower level open setting with dining space sitting in the middle of two large windows. A balcony outside extends the living area visually even as the flood of natural light makes sure the interior feels a lot more roomy than it really ease. In the bathroom one finds an old sewing machine being turned into a custom vanity while the neutral color palette is accentuated by clever use of gray.

    A completely transformative renovation opened this former tract home up to views, light, and its stunning outdoor setting. It’s all about the views, but this residence wasn’t always this way. What is now a metal and cedar stunner situated on a private, hilly enclave above Calabasas, was once a darkly lit 1960s-era generic single family home. A two-year renovation made a total overhaul for an entrepreneur and his wife, empty nesters with kids living nearby. The architect, Brian Wickersham of AUX Architecture in Los Angeles, didn’t change a thing in terms of the home’s footprint and rooflines; he couldn’t. “We initially looked at building a new home, but quickly learned that because of an ancient paleolithic landslide, that the county requirements for restraining the hill would be cost prohibitive and time-consuming—potentially five or more years,” says Wickersham. “Instead, we devised a plan to work within the existing house footprint and building envelope for a project that would be classified as a renovation.” In addition to these parameters, the homeowners tasked him with throwing out all of the old—down to the last salad fork—and bringing in everything new—all the while designing something where they could entertain a growing gaggle of grandkids. The result is a modern home that transitions from indoors to outdoors with the ease this property was intended for. “It’s about striking a balance between modest down-to-earth people and helping them realize they can be living a luxurious lifestyle,” says Wickersham. It’s about them living at a higher level of luxury.” A composition of dark standing seam metal and vertical grain cedar give the appearance of three cut pieces, shifted side-to-side, the wood being the cut face. The cedar siding also carries from outside to in, bringing warmth to the home and reinforcing the inside-outside connection. Solar panels, thermal panels to heat the pool, and a thermally coupled HVAC system enable the home to largely function off-the-grid.
