I fell in love with glowing white boxes the first time I saw the milk bar in "A Clockwork Orange" but you've taken them to a whole new level, ditching the sinister edge of that place while still keeping the sleek space-age glamour. Also the humor, as evidenced by the unidentified alien life form hovering above the toilet. Or is that an allusion to that Hieronymous Bosch painting? Either way, it's cool. As is everything else in your place. This is a classic of futuristic elegance. Very nice.

Magnaverde.

Great use of space! I love how you've taken the white on white to the extreme but still kept the space warm with the glowing lights and natural wood floors and countertops.

I so covet your workspace!! It's like walking into a completely separate dimension of your space... very fantastic!

wow. i feel like your entire apartment can be inside one of the pod-aliens! this place left me kinda cold the first time around... but I love it more now-- those zones of warm light and red blips of color really make a huge difference.

it's very cool but also seems like the hidden office is the only place that feels like a real apartment someone actually lives in and not an art piece.

Congratulations on making it to the finals! I am so in love with your apartment, this is what my apartment wants to be if money were no object. I do so love the all white thing with small pops of color.

I'm sure you've already been asked this - but do you make the light/sculptures that are in your dining, laundry and bathroom? They are remarkable.

I hope you win a prize and I would love to see a post of what you choose, hopefully it will be all white (ha, ha).

This is not at all my taste, but I am impressed and charmed by it all the same. The thought that went into each details, the mixing of warm and cool surfaces, the ... sheer weird whimsy of those space alien pod things!

Well done, and well-deserved spot in the finals. Congratulations to both of you and good luck!

Remember that episode of Ab Fab where Eddy's minimalist friend were coming to visit with their baby...

No video?

did you make the hanging light fixture with the 3 hanging bulbs? i'd love to know how to make one for myself.

I think I am the only one who doesnt love this apartment. While I appreciate the clever use of space for the bed, office and washer/dryer there is something about this space that seems like a designer showroom that no one lives in. I think its way too clinical and cold-maybe its that the white is all in the same tone and there is not enough texture in thw white objects. I didnt have a chance to review all the entries for the Small Cool Contest but from what I have seen I think there are stronger finalists. Then again maybe there should special prizes like Best Creative Storage or Best Office Space. I think this could win for Best Office Space though.

I agree with Trumystique. It's so hard for me to like this apartment, and I'm a little mystified by that, since it's so clearly well executed. I guess it feels too constrained. Or too cold. Definitely not romantic. The picture that appeals to me most is the one of the kitchen, probably because of the wood surfaces and light and dramatic increase in the amount of stuff. ...And yet that's not where their most creative design elements are. So I guess the design itself is not to my taste?

I'm breathless. I would love to live in such an artful space. It is't perfect though, I think it'd be nicer with some varying tones of white, and some subtle texture, to break up all that continuous white. Also, and this is nitpicking, but I think those 4 pillows look really out of place and plain, maybe some ones with more pattern would look better?

I personally think this one is fantastic. This was the first one that made me really go, "wow, I'd like to live there." Many others were quite nice, but this one I'm just keen on.

OMG ILOVEUPSTATE...that was such a great episode! "Surfaces, I need surfaces" And then they couldn't find the white box on the floor! Sooooo good.

Please tell us what you used for the glossy white bathroom floors! They are impossibly shiney!!

I really like this one. It doesn't look "fake" since it is clear that they have possessions and passions - they have simply organized everything very well and generally made the place look livable. Yup, I love this one.

Loved it before - still love it now

It's totally not something I could live with - but I still love it!

I had to take another look at this apartment. I am in love. I would like Victor to come on do my apartment. It is just so ethereal to me. I am in love the Woojuin Lamp, so had to look it up. More love. Love your work. Love it.

This apartment must be so romantic at night. Those light boxes emit a special glow I am sure. And are the strips on the floor reflective as well?

I liked many of the entries. It was a tough choice, but this is clearly my favorite. You and Jawrite have changed my life and design aesthetic (again). Thanks for inspiring me.

I hope you win.

I still think your space is the best!

Victor & Soeun -- in case you check this page, send me an e-mail at vatner@gmail.com -- would love to feature you in our magazine.

How does one keep a place that white CLEAN?

The photos are great, but I am serious about the level of maintainance needed.

I love the "bed over the office" structure.

it's so refreshing and functional. nice job!
