Lavish Stockholm Penthouse

Lavish Stockholm Penthouse with a 6 Meter Ridge Height

Via: fresh home

 

If you are looking for some meaningful apartment design inspiration, have a look at this exuberant modern penthouse located downtown Stockholm, Sweden. Found on Skeppsholmen, the duplex has a living area of 101 square meters and a total of four rooms. Wood is the defining element for the entire project, adding warmth and elegance while strongly contrasting the white walls. An open plan living room and kitchen set the tone for the minimalist home. Two of the interiors make a strong impression: the master bedroom with plenty of storage space and the exclusive bathroom with both bath and shower, Italian tiles, heated towel rail and washing machine and dryer. One of the most spectacular aspects of the duplex is a ceiling window, situated 6 meters above the bottom floor. Underfloor heating, air conditioning, spotlights and a built-in speaker system are just a few of the amenities of the penthouse. Abounding in natural light, the apartment looks spacious and welcoming.

 

 

French Inspired Attic

“The Aerie” by Benjamin Dhong

Ooh la la! This sitting room designed by Benjamin Dhong is a meditation on winged flight. Located in the tower attic of the 2010 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, the room was inspired by a romantic Parisian garret. I love the serene vibe of the space, it really feels like a cozy nest (albeit an incredibly chic one!) The fabrics on the pillows are scrumptious and add the perfect pop of color to the room!

A slice of heaven, right there in Palmetto Bluff!! Today we're finishing our tour of this incredible South Carolina home designed by Historical Concepts, an architecture firm specializing in traditional and vernacular design. I can't decide what I'd prefer... the breezy porch with the swinging bed and fireplace, or the attic bunkroom with the cozy curtained bed niche! All just so darn delightful! If missed out on yesterday's post, check it out here because there are more photos by Richard Leo Johnson/Atlantic Archives of the home waiting for you!


If you're like me and just cannot get enough of beautiful Southern homes, Historical Concepts has a new book out called Coming Home: The Southern Vernacular House. The stunning coffee table book is filled to the brim with breathtaking interiors...the home above even has its own chapter! Read all about the book here!

Tapping Existing Potential to Create an Attic Master Suite

Before

Former owners had turned the tucked-under-the-roof space over to their cats, leaving the rooms, along with the rest of the house, in sore need of a redo.

Shown: The tiny top floor had good headroom under its three gables, but the three-room space lacked style—and plumbing.

Repurposed Find

Holding to a $14,000 budget, the couple hired a plumber and an electrician to work with Matthew, an experienced carpenter. He demolished one wall and took others down to the studs to create a top-floor master suite, office, and reading nook with closets, cabinets, and open shelves cut into the knee walls. Old peel-and-stick tile and carpet came out in favor of cherry-look vinyl planks. The team added a marble-lined bath with two sinks and placed a shower area under the highest point of one gable to create a luxurious sense of space. Rather than haul furniture up narrow stairs, Matthew built two desks, a platform bed—with storage cubbies along the base—and wall-hung nightstands on-site. He wiggled the mattress and box spring in through the new office window.

Shown: The Craftsman-style glass-panel door, salvaged from the entry of the 1938 house, channels light through the space.

Cozy Spot

A reading nook on the stair landing serves as a buffer between the master 
suite and the office.

Open Space

After 10 months, all the pieces fit cozily in 500 functional square feet. "Everything is where we need it," Matthew says. "It's warm and comfortable, and makes you realize you can do a lot with the space you have."

Shown: A new 5-foot-tall window added light in the office and a way for the mattress and box springs to circumnavigate the narrow stairs.

Stylish Redesign

Curvy console sinks give the bath an open look. The marble-lined shower, raised to create space for plumbing, fits under the highest point of one gable.

Final Floor Plan

Removing one wall helped turn two small rooms into a bedroom; a third room became a new bath. A reading nook, knee-wall storage, and built-in furniture wring extra function out of the space and give it a finished look.

What they did:

1. Rebuilt the knee walls with 3-foot-high doors to create storage voids where the slope of the roof is too low for standing.

2. Added built-in desks with file cabinets underneath.

3. Placed the shower in front of a window under one gable's high point, adding light and a sense of spaciousness.

4. Built in a bed with storage compartments underneath and a pair of wall-hung nightstands.

D&D DIY Attic Gaming room

The DIY Attic D&D Gaming Room |

From: Apartment Therapy.com

As someone who still fondly remembers cracking open boxes housing 20 sided dice, creating detailed character sheets and adventuring through imaginary worlds of fantasy realms, I admit the kid in me more than admires this attic-turned-D&D game room. It took 2 years to complete and showcases exemplary organization, housing a myriad of surprises, that we dare say, seems magical!

Shush naysayers, before I smite thee! This gaming room is capable of casting a spell of Elven Light upon entering (automatic lighting system) and Aural Projection (an integrated audio system). We also love details like a handmade skeleton key required for exiting, strobe and smoke systems, under-the-table lighting controls for the Dungeon Master, and an encyclopedic pine shelving library comprised of gaming tomes that stretch to each corner of the attic. Say what you may, but they did not half-ass this room decor project!

Yeah, I know you jocks and popular kids are going to ridicule this decorative scheme, but we're going to band amongst our nerd brethren with wand in defensive fashion and recognize the impressive planning and handiwork that went into the Burntwire Brothers gaming room. Fantasy decor with a tasteful collector's eye makes this anything but embarrassing (agree with us or we'll bop you with a mace with a +5 saving throw against trolls) and we'd only hope one day we have the pleasure of sitting in on a game inside the D&D Room.
