Three modern homes measuring under 65 square metres, each styled in their own very unique and lively character. Our first home has a mid century modern spirit with a bright and breezy mix of furniture, and a beautiful glass bedroom design under wooden arches. Tour number two shows how soul warming an earthy textured palette can be, and comes complete with inspirational mood boards for each individual room of the apartment. Lastly we tour a minimalist interior design that’s uplifted with a bright red and blue accented colour scheme, where combined space demonstrates how even small floor plans can pull off a relaxed flow.
Project ‘T-flat’ is a 65 square metre home in Moscow, Russian Federation. The mid century modern living living room is a bright and breezy space with a cheery mix of furniture. Indoor plants fill in the blank spaces.

The glass wall bedroom is unique and elegant design, with panes of glass held within slender wooden arches.
Just off the entry to the bedroom, a home workspace slots comfortably into the narrow remainder of floor space. Wooden bookshelves lean against the walls without disrupting original skirting boards or ceiling cornice.
At the opposite end, a small dining room is situated by the kitchen.
A round pedestal dining table complements a beautifully curved wall structure at the entrance to the kitchen diner.
The white kitchen design falls lightly into the background of the dining area, picked out only by contrasting wooden wine storage, art, and a shelf mounted black swing arm wall lamp.
A crisp white extractor and matt white faucet meld with the minimalist kitchen.
The floor plan reveals that the curved kitchen wall conceals a compact bathroom.
Our second 65 square metre interior is located in Athens, Greece. Originally, the dwelling was a 95 square metre house, and this was divided into two smaller apartments. The client’s taste steered a decor palette of very warm beige and brown shades, with hints of industrial design. An L-shape russet brown sofa wraps the cosy living room, whilst a sputnik chandelier and Atollo lamp bring gold lustre.

Our final tour is a smart 64 square metre apartment, located in Kyiv, Ukraine. The project was inspired by the works of Le Corbusier, with emphasis on the concept of "less is more". The homeowner would keep nothing but the necessities, and combine a relaxation zone, workspace and gym into one single space. A red sofa dominates the common area, with everything else removed except for a plain white modern wall sconce.
