Do-It-Yourself Charm

Small Space, Big Style : Episode HSSBS-412 -- More Projects »
Modern Mini-Loft
Architect Richard Lucas used steel and aluminum to create a modern, minimalist look with a high-tech feel. The walls were replaced with a series of aluminum Venetian blinds hung from steel columns and aluminum I-beams. When open, the blinds look like a sheer curtain. Blinds under the stairs conceal more storage for everything from a wine bottle collection to extra chairs for parties.

Typically Overlooked Space
« The Wall Does it All | One Big, Happy Space »
Lucas took advantage of a long entry hall by lining one side with bookcases that are set on casters. He can move them when needing extra space for moving larger objects into his apartment. The bottom cubbies hold storage and shoes slip underneath when taken off on the way in. The Japanese prints on the other side of the hallway draw the eye all the way through and into the living space.
