Designed by Pigalopus architects to appear bigger than it is, but remain flexible to the owners needs, Lwowska 32sqm apartment is a breezy home for two and their dog. Located in Krakow close to the city centre, it sits within a developing neighbourhood, with large windows allowing a plentiful amount of sunlight into the home. To maintain this, the existing floor plan was unchanged, and instead flexible, movable furniture was added to the exterior walls, and a floor to ceiling bookshelf created to form a divider between sleeping, work and living spaces. With a projector screen hidden above it, and storage accessible from both sides, this unit functions as both general storage, TV unit and bedside table. Raising the bed itself also allows for additional storage underneath. In keeping with the flexible concept, the lighting is all installed on rails so it can be moved and added to as needed. In designing the home, Pigalopus fully embraced its future use, allowing it to be easily customised for its next owners.

And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

    Finally something I can relate too as a renter! Renting in small apartments means we are very limited in space and in what we can do. I like that it's not built-in but movable furniture, which is more realistic and comfortable.

    Yes I liked it very much too. The fact that it's clearly a beautiful new building, with an apartment plan that was already quite rational (almost a square space...) and modern, probaly made the implementation of the project a bit easier.

    This apartment is simply beautiful, and would make for easy living. There are no goofy compromises, no need to eat at a coffee table or climb a clumsy ladder to get to bed, for instance. And a small detail which I’ve always imagined useful but never seen: the kitchen counter in front of the window has cupboards below that are shorter, thus creating a resting spot to place things while cooking. (We all feel we need more counter space, but that’s not true. We can cook entire meals on two feet of counter if we have somewhere to put things down and keep that two-foot stretch clear. It’s resting spots, not counters, that we need.)

    While I personally don't like the thought of having the wardrobe right by the kitchen, the overall design of the apartment is beautiful, streamlined and comfortable to live in. I'd probably have sacrificed parts of the big shelf for clothes storage instead, but it's a beautiful look so I understand why one was chosen over the other!

    Well i also feel the same but after lot of videos from the same channel i feel they could have used a sliding door cupboard which acts as a door to bedroom as well as a storage closet for clothes that is facing the living room sofa . And we can have drawers that face the balcony that separates kitchen and living room sofa which also acts like a counter top. But i dont know if my design costs more and thats why they would have went like that. But i agree this is a very good home. ❤

    This is a very efficient use of the space. Though the layout is clean and functional, the owner's personality comes through with the use of artwork and plants. In a small studio, it can be difficult to avoid the bed becoming the focal point of the room, giving the impression that your home is one big bedroom. Here the sleeping area is cleverly concealed behind a storage unit.

    The overall look is good, but there are a few things I'd have done differently. First, never would I put my wardrobe into the kitchen. But where else then? I think the dividing shelf thingy could've been a great wardrobe. Yes, it would make the bed area slightly darker, but there is a huge window, I think it'd be fine. Then that tiny desk. The space seems too small and dark to work. So instead, I think I would've put an pull-out desk in the room-dividing shelf/wardrobe. I mean, make half of it a wardrobe, the other half a shelf with a pull out desk and doors at the bottom to maybe put away a chair. This way the kitchen/dining area would be more open, the dividing furniture would serve ore purpose and you'd have a working space with more natural light.
