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

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.

  • Villa Pizzorusso

    One of the most remarkable Puglia villa rentals available, this restored 16th-century masseria (fortified farmhouse) stands proudly on the ancient Appian Way. If you are looking for a luxurious holiday retreat brimming with character and history, this stunning property is for you. Deep in the countryside and surrounded by olive groves, Villa Pizzorusso is the ideal place to get away from it all. The secluded gardens, filled with orange trees and aromatic herbs, are wonderfully private, and you’ll love the magnificent 80 ft (25 m) swimming pool. Enjoy a morning coffee or early evening aperitif on the extensive first-floor terrace and take in the views across the peaceful landscape. The character of the grand old masseria is still in evidence throughout. Enter the interior through the arched portal and step into a world of barrel-vaulted ceilings, stone arches and a wealth of period details that wouldn’t look out of place on a film set. Different parts of the building date from different eras: the main wing, complete with five cupolas and frescoed ceilings, was added in the 18th century, while the main living area – including an open-plan kitchen – is located within the 17th-century stables. There’s plenty of space to accommodate up to twelve guests. Each bedroom is air-conditioned and simply furnished with neutral tones and traditional wood furniture, while the bathrooms feature striking contemporary fixtures. Four of the bedrooms are located in the main villa with the two upstairs bedrooms having private entrances and secluded access from the ground floor, while two more are located in a smaller stone building in the courtyard. There is much to see and do in the area – from the beaches of the Ionian and Adriatic coasts, to the whimsical conical architecture of the local trulli dwellings. Gourmet travelers should stop at the charming local market town of Mesagne, with its bakeries, wine co-ops and cheese shops (the fresh mozzarella and ricotta are made daily). Puglia is also rich in picturesque medieval cities, such as Ostuni and Otranto, their atmospheric narrow streets lined with an abundance of restaurants specializing in the delectable local cuisine.
