Good Things Come in Small Places

Creative homeowners show how good things come in small places.

Small Space, Big Style : Episode HSSBS-409 -- More Projects »
Having a small living space is no reason to skimp on style. A Brooklyn couple renovates a century-old apartment; see a Houston house that two architects built by hand; an apartment in Washington D.C. is transformed into a contemporary guest space; and in San Francisco, a teacher has a fantastic place for her Friday night gatherings.

Brooklyn Jewel Box
Architect Justin Korhammer and his wife Florencia Kratsman purchased an apartment in a century-old building, but the 700-square-foot space had absolutely no character. The couple renovated to create a functional, livable space with a fluid, loft-like feel. They decided against including transition spaces in the design. Everything has to have a function; for instance, the corridor outside the bedroom became a changing room with the installation of floor-to-ceiling closets. They love the results: "It's our little jewel box."

Library Living
Next: Stunning Dining
Dark bookshelves, a black plaster wall and black and metal furnishings with only a few accent colors give the living room the reflective feel of a library. It is also a place to hang out and watch movies. This couple has cleverly hidden their TV by placing a video projector in a cutout in the wall above the couch, which also allows natural light to filter through to the rest of the apartment. A huge screen pulls down in front of the windows. A video projector is a great way to save space and money; it is usually about one-third the cost of a flat screen TV.
