  • Architect Christi Azevedo transformed a tiny boiler room in her San Francisco backyard into a compact home crafted like custom furniture. Trained in metalworking and furniture building, everything is tailored to create a home that feels much larger than its 88 square feet (8 feet wide by 11 feet deep).

    I love that the headboard/cupboards are slightly sloped, it makes leaning against so much more comfortable. And all the little details like the double-sided door hook are just so clever. I love this place, I could totally see myself living there.

      +Mo Jo I agree, but I think for light it would be great to have some of that sanded acrylic in that space too. Still get the overhead light downstairs, without someone being able to look up your shorts or you feel like you're going to plummet to your death every time you get out of bed.

    • @johnkang2000

    • @sakurahart612
      @sakurahart612 8 лет назад +8

      well as for light from the top...I think u could use a set of old mirrors...I mean light bounces off of them all the time....the ancient. Egyptians used stuff like that in under ground spaces for lighting

      +Mo Jo I think it's looks fantastic. I would be nervous about it being in earthquake country though. Especially in a brick building. The glass is likely to break and the brick walls tend to collapse in earthquakes. I'm glad the skylight isn't directly over the bed.

    Feels like most of the small design features were actually thought out and not just something that happened to be, like the towel hangers, ladder-seat, shoe compartment, it really makes a difference when everything is thought out :P

  • @MessiahComing
    @MessiahComing 9 лет назад +214

    Always face a ship's ladder when you're going up or down. Facing away is a good way to break an ankle. I'm speaking as an officer and as someone who's seen it happen.

    • @nutrylzone367
      @nutrylzone367 9 лет назад +8

      +Red Judas That's what I thought too for safety, but that's not how they do it on some of the ships. I think it depends on the shape and the slant of the ladder. The Sailors are fast coming down the steps too! I once stayed one the a USN Carriers.

    • @cleopatrastarseed8558
      @cleopatrastarseed8558 4 года назад +75

    Amazing bathroom, especially the medicine cabinet. I'd add a (slow) drop down floor over the glass for changing room privacy.
    Also a tallish gate at the top of the stairs with a drop down seat for changing ease and fall protection when jumping into pants when your're late. Love the light... light is everything as is plumbing...
