This is home to an Italian ceramic artist. Enter the home's gallery-like living room and you'll see two colorful stacked spaces in the rear: a kitchen/dining room with a bedroom above.
The yellow-ceiling-ed little kitchen is a comfortable, warm workhorse jam-packed with open shelving, dining table, and washer/dryer. Climb an unabashed ladder to the vibrant blue bedroom and find a cool, cave-like room that looks out over the pure white main space.
The color and arrangement of this home feels like fun to us. Visit the rest of the home, including the ceramics studio, right here. Photo: Bamberghi Filippo / OWI

Anyone know the name of the artist?
love it
the 'ceiling' between bedroom and kitchen is so thin i'd be afraid my fat ass would fall right through!
Looks horrible.
have to agree with tenderoni, that is a very thin floor/ceiling and it looks like the size of a play house for little children?
but as long as they are happy, that's what counts......
I love everything about this studio - you'd need to be a working artist to appreciate what's going on here. This sincerely inspires me to make a few changes in my lifestyle. Thanks, AP and thanks to the unnamed Italian artist.
srsly people...looks like 2x4's and plywood same thing most floors are made of. This is awesome I'm currently trying to figure out a similar setup but with only 11 foot ceilings...a 5.5 foot kitchen and bedroom may work for me but any guest would have to stoop the whole time!
I would rather see the second floor only extend 2/3rds of the way, to emphasize that beautiful stained glass window instead of cutting it in half as it is here. I also would not have painted the ceiling royal blue.
Ralph, I think in order to make this work, you need at least a 7' ceiling on the bottom. The bedroom can be lower if all it holds is the bed, meaning there would be no space to walk around the bed on the second level.
As an artist, I would absolutely love to live here.
The contrast in styles of the rooms makes this look even more like a doll house than it already would from the architecture.
