Located in a 19th Century Victorian building in the tree-lined cosmopolitan area of Belsize park in North London, Shoji Apartment brings it’s boho japanese brief to life with a simple structure, clean lines and flexible design. Central to the design concept is the cocoon-like sleeping pod. Enclosed in a series of lightweight translucent polycarbonate screens influenced by Japanese shoji screens, which define space but also can be opened and moved flexibly.. At night with the lights on and screens closed, the pod’s design creates a warm, cozy glow. The remainder of the apartment feels surprisingly spacious, with a full size kitchen and dining space, whilst the living room is purposely void of any fixed furniture, to allow flexibility.. The use of two key materials through-out the space, birch plywood and clay works plaster, unify the space and have a natural patina that brings a warmth to the home.

The course team makes a lot of effort to provide opportunities to their students and give them a great experience (even if there are some people higher up in the department that aren't very good at their jobs). Overall I think that this course was super demanding - seeing the workload of people on other courses at Falmouth Uni, interiors probably make you work 3-5 times harder, and it has its advantages and disadvantages. If you're up for a challenge, I'd highly recommend cause we all left we a load of experience, points on our cvs and projects to present :) There's also a lot of collaboration between courses and great workshops on campus!

The other thing I love about this space is how lots of the furniture isn’t built in and could be changed to adapt to the design preferences of different people. Also, that there’s spare space and wall areas left over where additional furniture could be used if possible. Too often, I think these apartments have everything built in from the outset, often before the space has truly been lived in, and it makes them less flexible and adaptable. They end up being a bit too ‘permanent’ for my liking. This one strikes the right balance.

There is nothing showed about the bathroom, but there is a lot of wasted space for the kitchen, while the living is reduced to a weird sofa, a small cabinet a stool, an armchair and something which wants to be a coffee table. And everywhere is plywood. Sorry, but I doubt someone can actually live there permanently.

@@1zanglang A couple could fit in there perfectly well, and sometimes you don't wanna talk 24/7, hence the privacy of the bed. Bathroom was shown and has a great size, even a window. There is ample space to put more furniture if one does wish so-not having 2-3 tiny rooms allows for that flexibility. Good quality plywood can last quite long, if sealed properly

Well done! It's nice that the wood is light, not overbearing. The one thing that I really think could add to it, is making the bookshelve in the alcove fold or slide out to a small desk/study. Because that's the one function that isn't really present, and also seems so natural to put it there.

That bay window really makes this space - I could see it with a comfy lounge fitted under the windows. I like this design overall. Not the stars, like others have said. I think in years to come lots of these spaces with staggered stairs will have them ripped out and redesigned. The space looks like it would fit normal stairs, but if they were too steep you could redesign and sacrifice some of the wardrobe space, so the stairs are L shaped, which reduces the steepness. Since you can also have under stair storage, you probably wouldn't actually lose much storage space.

This might be one of the most well thought out spaces I've seen. It's tiny, but it literally has everything. I love seeing how people design and style tiny spaces, but they are almost lacking something major or just straight up don't seem like they'd be comfortable to actually live in. You've got a king sized bed which is unheard of in a space this small. And it actually seems cozy, not like an afterthought shoved and hidden into a nook. You've got a decent sized, workable kitchen. Again, not something you see often. The bathroom is a good size. And everything else is so open. Really impressive. I feel like a lot of tiny spaces get too caught up in trying to make weird storage angles and sacrifice actual usability for aesthetic. I could see any normal person living here, not just someone who owns two articles of clothing, 3 books, and either has no down time or spends it reading those same three books over and over.
