With only few square metres I have optimized our living space by designing and building (with the help of capable hands, i.e. my fathers) a loft bed for the girls. To make it we used some recycled bits (left-over pieces from the kitchen) and some beautiful vintage panels bought at a building store specializing in recycled building materials.

My apartment is not very big which is why I have bed sleeping on a sofa bed this past year. This weekend I decided to get my old bed up from the basement. Real thick mattresses. A bed! I had forgotten how important it is to have a space that is my own. Important for love. Important for me. I have created my own bedroom zone in the living room. It is what it is. And it's pretty good!

This was taken at a housing estate. Blocks of flats like this are a common sight in Hong Kong.

One shot RAW converted HDR to bring out the details in the building.

Matthew Gilbride’s modular, wall-mounted appliance provides flexible modes of cooking, refrigeration, air conditioning, lighting, and environmental design whilst reducing space. The appliance draws power wirelessly through ‘powermat’ technology applied to the wall, which is supplemented through solar energy as required. Multiple units and surfaces automatically work together through wireless smart networking, whilst customisation is offered by being able to install the units as the user prefers.
