Space saving furniture that transforms 1 room into 2 or 3


Resource Furniture sells bookshelves, couches and desks- and a combination of the above- that are so highly engineered that they gracefully transform into beds. Gone is the amusing awkwardness of Murphy Beds, this more modern transforming furniture (much of it designed and made in Italy y Clei) is high style and almost, well, magical. Hydraulics make the transition from bookshelf or couch to bed a smooth and effortless thing to marvel. Original story here: faircompanies.com

Lego-style apartment transforms into infinite spaces


When Christian Schallert isn't cooking, dressing, sleeping or eating, his 24 square meter (258 square feet) apartment looks like an empty cube. To use a piece of furniture, he has to build it. Located in Barcelona's hip Born district, the tiny apartment is a remodeled pigeon loft. Christian says its design was inspired by the space-saving furniture aboard boats, as well as the clean lines of a small Japanese home.

Manhattan shoebox apartment: a 78-square-foot mini studio


A couple years ago, Manhattan architect Luke Clark Tyler, lived in a 96 square foot apartment. Instead of upsizing with his latest move, he chose to squeeze himself and his belongings into even less space. Luke now lives in a 78 square foot shoebox studio. It's too narrow to fit a bed lengthwise, but using a bit of plywood and 2x4s he built his own custom bed/couch. He keeps his clothes, plates, microwave, books, spices and shaving and cleaning supplies in a large built-in cabinet. The rest of his kitchen is a tiny refrigerator that helps hold up his desk (he works for home as a contract architect). While he admits he misses being able to cook a real meal- though he's vegetarian so eats a lot of vegetables and nuts and can even microwave eggs- Luke doesn't see living small as a sacrifice. He loves living in the heart of New York City- his place is in Midtown Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen- and he likes paying just $750/month (cheaper than the shared housing he could find in the area). Luke's website: www.lukeclarktyler.com Original story: faircompanies.com

Tiny Origami apartment in Manhattan unfolds into 4 rooms


In 2005, third-grade-teacher Eric Schneider bought as big as an apartment as he could afford in Manhattan. He paid $235000 for a 450-square-foot studio with a tiny kitchen. Then he let architects Michael Chen and Kari Anderson of Normal Projects design a way to pack more density into his small space. In order to fit more apartment in a small footprint, they created an object that's bigger than furniture, but smaller than architecture and that morphs with the changing activities of a day. It's a large, blue, oversized cabinet that houses all of the walls/bed/tables/shelving/closets needed for at least 4 full-sized rooms. By continuing to unfold, or fold differently, Schneider can create a bedroom with accompanying built-in nightstand and closets, but an office plus library, a guest bedroom, and a living room. Or close it up entirely and simply flip down the small bar and the room becomes entertaining space for a dozen. The Normal Projects architects called their creation the Unfolding Apartment, though given Schneider's affinity for the Japanese sense of space (he spent his first year post-college living and teaching in Japan), it could as easily be called the Origami Apartment. In total, Schneider spent $70000 total remodeling his new apartment and this includes not just the cabinet, but the bathroom renovation, all cabinetry, kitchen appliances, furniture and dishes. In this video, Chen shows us his custom cabinet of rooms and Schneider unfolds a few of his favorite <b>...</b>

Shotgun shack redux: mortgage-free in 320 square feet


Two years ago, Debra and her family lived in a nearly 2000 square foot home on an acre and a half of land. Then her husband lost his job and they began to work 4 jobs between them to pay the mortgage, until one day they remembered they had a choice. Before having their son, Debra and her husband Gary had spent 9 years living in very tiny homes in South America. Living small hadn't felt like a sacrifice, but a way to stay focused on what is important. They decided they wanted to get back to that. They stopped working so hard, sold or gave away all of their extra stuff and began looking for the perfect tiny home. Debra had always liked the Mississippi shotgun style homes, and one day, while browsing craigslist, they noticed an ad for a local Arkansas company custom building tiny homes for a price that could mean an end to house payments. Six weeks and $15000 later they had their own fully paid-off dwelling. Today, Debra, her husband and 13-year-old son live in a 320-square foot home that is not a sacrifice, but exactly what they need.

How To Assemble Flat Pack Furniture


It is always the same you get carried away when perusing the aisles of a furniture shop, picking up a chest of drawers here, a bookcase there then you get home and you have to assemble all of your purchases yourself. Fumbling over nails and screws and getting muddled amongst pages of instructions is definitely not my idea of fun, even when it is followed by a well-deserved Gin and Tonic. To provide some assistance, I have teamed up with DIY expert Craig Phillips.

FoldAway Murphy Wall Bed


Hideaway www.hideaway.co.uk murphy wall bed called the 'FoldAway'. The Foldaway bed is an Integrated System which is designed to have a one-piece door (often 2 doors joined together) attached to the base of the bed via a sub-frame with a Manual Leg Action. The manual leg sits inside the bed when folded away, but when in use the manual leg is folded over the foot-end of the bed and sits on the underside when in the down position. The Foldaway bed has an adjustable sprung mechanism which gives a safe, light and easy lifting action. The Foldaway bed is not a DIY assembly. The bed must be assembled and installed into a purpose built cabinet by a competent Carpenter/Joiner using the appropriate technical specification.

How to Protect & Prevent damage to floors/worktops etc use a Foldisheet


For decorators and for DIY, www.foldisheet.co.uk is the ideal way to prevent damage to worktops and other surfaces when doing decorating, interior refurbishment, repairing walls, doing electrical rewiring and fitouts.

Xmas Bikers Tale


A development of the wartime Welbike, a small fold-away lightweight motorcycle designed for dropping by parachute, the Corgi first appeared in 1948. Manufactured by Brockhouse Engineering, of Southport, it was powered by a built-under-license Excelsior Spryt 98cc two-stroke single. The monkey bike of its day, the Corgi carried its horizontal engine in a low-slung tubular frame on top of which sat the fuel tank. The saddle was mounted bicycle-fashion on a tubular seat post and the handlebars could be folded down flat. The wheels carried 12.5-diameter tyres and there was no kick-starter on early models. A kick-starter and dog clutch were soon introduced on the Mark II and then in 1949 a two-speed gearbox and telescopic forks became available as options. The two-speed Mark IV model lasted until 1954. Me and Michael Cutler spent our school summer holiday of 1967 searching every second-hand shop in Bournemouth for a Corgi motorcycle.We were finally directed to a gentleman's house where, at the bottom of his garden shed we discovered a number plate; KEL 957 under a ton of furniture.He asked us to come back in a week when he had extracted his old Corgi MkII in the original Black, Gold and Red.We paid 5 GBP for it.My friends father restored it so we could learn to ride it on a disused WW2 airport near Hurn.I managed to pass my bike test on it 1 week after my 16th birthday. I then re-painted it in emerald green and fitted a chrome exhaust system, much to the annoyance of folk who <b>...</b>
