Home Design: 20 Creative Ways To Maximize Limited Living Space
We’d all like to have a place to call our own, a spot in the world where we can say, "I am king of this spot". But space – or the lack of it – is fast becoming an issue, particularly in major cities. If you don’t intend to have the traditional home design, the kind you fill up with creative or futuristic furniture, and fantasy-themed bedrooms, then perhaps these unconventional home designs may give you new ideas. Ingenius architects and pretty talented interior designers have turned spaces, apartments & lofts as small as 240 square feet into compact yet cozy homes. Most of them utilize ‘airspace’ or create multiple, moveable sections to transform an otherwise small living space into a full range (somewhat) multi-room home.

Inspirational Workspace – Web.tv Office Design
We are fans of unorthodox art such as sketches on Starbucks cups, on street pavements, on the side of buildings etc. Occasionally we enjoy checking out office designs and sharing ideas on how to spruce up your work space at home. Today, however, we are treated with an inside look into Web.tv’s office design. Web.tv is a new-age social video network, which allows users to create their own channels like namesurname.web.tv. Let’s check out what they have to say about what happened behind the scenes when they dreamed up the office.

World's Coolest Offices: Best Use of Nature
For the first major renovation to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry office in Ljubljana, Slovenia, the government contacted a local architecture and design firm, Sadar + Vuga. When the work ended, a new façade adorned the building—a tangle of crisscrossing green beams covering tall glass windows. Inside the building, a dull green light shrouds the upper floor, which is enveloped by the screens. The effect feels like walking inside a fibrous plant. (Continued) Long troughs brimming with tropical plants hang from ceilings, and as the plans grow, their vines and flowers stretch toward the ground. Thinkgarden, a "creative business lounge" and meeting space in Milan, Italy, is based on the idea that nature promotes creativity. Even if a worker is sitting at a Thinkgarden desk, nature is never far away. Trails of leaves extend across the walls of the Sugamo Shunkin Bank's Tokiwadai branch. Ever notice how a fallen leaf may be pockmarked with holes? Lunch break!
Creative Use of Materials | World's Coolest Offices
When you walk into the Los Angeles offices of Thornton Tomessti, an international engineering company, it's hard not to notice the floating reception desk situated in front of a bright green mural bearing the company's name. Upon further inspection, the mural actually pays homage to the company's line of business: the bright green dots are actually safety caps for steel rebar. The clients were "keen on celebrating the creativity and ingenuity that 'good' structural engineering offers," notes Koning Eizenberg, the architecture firm behind the space. (Continued) Certainly, the choice of color matters for your office, but perhaps more importantly (and interestingly), color can be used as a device to tell a story. No one likes to work in a noisy office. While the monochromatic fabric offers a legitimate function for the office, it also delivers a powerful design aesthetic. Here's one way to explain Missing Link's office: "A riot of color and carefully orchestrated chaos."
The Centre | dic
Established in 2006, The Design Incubation Centre (DIC) is Singapore’s first dedicated industrial design research laboratory based in the Division of Industrial Design in the National University of Singapore. The Centre investigates and develops new tools of design, in order to find new possibilities for the practice of design. As a design probe, the centre addresses and explores three spheres of research into human needs, emerging technology and social trends. It seeks to create new ideas and products that are intuitive and enriching without losing sight of the experience and encounter. The centre’s distinct approach and emphasis into mining and discovering unmet needs enables it to redefine areas of human interaction with new technology and software that affects daily life and social behaviour. Through projects that are self-initiated or developed in collaboration with industry, the centre aims to experiment with and develop new design methods.
Inside the Latest Office-Design Craze: Hot Desking
The cubicle's days are numbered. A concept called "hot desking" is rewriting the rules on how companies should landscape their work environments. By ditching desks and dividers, the hot-desking faithful make the entire office--and more--their workspace. We spoke with founders and managers at five companies to get a feel for their different approaches to ditching assigned seating. Josh Dunford | Founder of Burnkit Studio | Vancouver, British Columbia "Burnkit's design studio is a warehouse in a formerly industrial area pushed up against the harbor and the railway tracks. Maja Henderson | Office manager of Square | San Francisco "We have a completely open floor plan. Navin Thukkaram | COO of Qwiki, an interactive video start-up | New York City "Our office, located in SoHo, is essentially one large loft space with exposed brick and a high ceiling. Jess Hanebury | Community manager at Threadless | Chicago "We loved the community and having a bunch of other companies around for social reasons.
How to Design an Office That Makes Everyone More Productive
What we do requires people who work in strategy, user experience, design, technology, and production. Traditionally, you departmentalize all that. But I organize teams around clients, not job functions. When you walk inside Big Spaceship, you'll see an open plan, with several long tables. We also try to give people lots of mediums to express themselves. We want to be the most collaborative agency in the world. As told to Inc. senior writer Burt Helm.
Who We Are
What do we mean by interaction? We mean every way people experience your business, whether it’s the product, service, marketing or communications. Your brand isn’t what you say it is. What it is in their minds is what it is. This philosophy guides everything we do. Big Spaceship exists for brands with the ambition to lean into tomorrow, regardless of where they are in their evolution today. We are structured to collaborate closely with our clients. Unlike traditional agencies, we do not have rigid hierarchies.
