Architects often have to devise innovative solutions for overcoming limited space in residential properties. One of the most common challenges faced is to renovate and alter the purpose of spaces to make them more suitable for modern living.
When space is limited, architects need to acclimatise to the limitations and think of ways they can make the most of the available room. Rather than being a problem or hindrance, the constraints can offer a great chance to create unique spaces. When architectural projects are challenged by space, it allows for an innovative and economical use of materials that can elevate the finished result to unexpected levels of beauty.
Closed off rooms and confounding floor spaces can be transformed by creative methods, such as removing inner walls and changing the shape and layout to suit the room’s intended purpose. Open plan living and sliding doors between interior spaces can often be an ideal way to make smaller spaces appear more roomy and remove the feeling of constraint. Living in smaller spaces can be very liberating as it can increase energy efficiency, create closeness between inhabitants and inspire residents to pare down their possessions to the essentials, creating a greater sense of functionality.
Living small is the key to living in a small space. Vertical built in storage shelves, drawers and wardrobes can offer fantastic space-saving solutions and are all additions that can be factored in by skilled architects. Drawers and units that are concealed but slide in and out are also perfect for limited spaces. Drawers mean you do not need bulky cabinets and units and they help you maximise on your available space. Multipurpose furniture offers the ideal way to save on square footage, as does using the outdoors as an extra room. Creating external living spaces such as extensions and conservatories can give you the additional room you need.
