The C01 apartment in Milan, Italy, designed by Studio Sveva in 2023, is a vibrant 39m² urban retreat located in the lively NoLo neighbourhood. Guided by the home’s original floor tiles, which vary in each room, the design combines clever upgrades and vintage details to create a harmonious scheme. Bespoke pale green furniture unifies the spaces, maximising efficiency while vintage finds echo the home’s energetic character.
This stunning 550-square-foot guest house, The Hive, designed by Nicole Blair in Austin, Texas, showcases innovative spatial solutions within a compact footprint. Carefully tailored to the owner’s needs, this one-bedroom dwelling maximizes its limited 320-square-foot footprint through strategic three-dimensional design, evoking the shape of a beehive.
By closely examining the occupants’ movements and needs, the Hive’s interior spaces are shaped to feel both intimate and grand, blending Dutch and Japanese design influences to create a highly efficient and functional home.
