The Bachelors' Pad
Two college buddies share a 350-square-foot New York studio. A lot of imagination and organization go into fitting two people, their things and their lives into such a small space. A sense of humor helps, too. Luckily these guys are making the most of what they have. They love the studio's proximity to Central Park, and they have a place to hang out with pals. For these two friends, a nugget-sized place to call home is enough for now.
Inflatable Haven
A bizarre interpretation of light and airy is the distinguishing feature of this 960-square-foot loft located in Miami's design district. Designer and homeowner Luis Pons is committed to his concept and the effect is breathtakingliterally. The loft is filled with inflatable furnishings. Pons was inspired by two factors: a design project he worked on to capture an aesthetic element of the beach and a low budget. He loves his inflatable furnishings because they're versatile, collapsible and store away easily.
