Maximizing Space in a Small Urban Condo

Many people are surprised to learn that this housebrand designed condominium is actually less than 1,000 square feet. An open plan, lots of natural light, careful attention to architectural detailing, and a well crafted furniture plan create a spacious feeling with minimal square footage. The key to the design is the incorporation of the kitchen, dining and living areas into a single large space with the walnut kitchen cabinets and the oversize island designed as pieces of furniture. A drywall dropped ceiling adds architectural detail to the ceiling while acting as an organizing element for the Canyon sectional sofa and Walnut Cube table. A slender horizontal notch in the black oak fireplace creates a place to display photos and objects. The small entry hall is enhanced with a floating walnut storage cube, frameless mirror, and a frosted glass sliding door that divides the guest room from the entry while allowing light to filter through both spaces.
