apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Love the bathroom!

gorgeous place!

I'm all shook up! Imagine, this was the 1906 version of a FEMA trailer. So much for progress!

Wow, this is a great place, and I like it even more after reading the description of how it was built! It has a very spacious feel, and it seems like a very calm, relaxing environment.

Can't type... too jealous...

stunning...stunning. what area of The City is this in?

Fantastic space! Love that ceiling.

That bathroom and ceiling are to die for...

love this.

I love this space, but it causes me to wonder if the contest should do separate awards for 'decor' and 'architecture'. I feel pain for the renters in this class competing with those ceilings and light fixtures.

Great space though. This would be my pick for the architecture award so far.

wow. seems way bigger than 650 sq ft!!!

I love the space! It was a wise move to keep the decor simple, but I agree with Matilde that the main attraction here is the amazing architecture, not the furnishings or decoration.

I concur- the apartment is GORGEOUS, but I'm not sure how much I am learning about what's small and cool, except maybe the extreme editing. Beautiful home, though!

Almost *too* spare, but the history behind the space is great. Very airy for 600 sq ft!

Winner!

Name of fridge please.

Love the space and agree it might be a tad too spare but one thing does bother me and that's the bathroom all the way over on the other side of the great room, what if you have to pee in the middle of the night?

If it were me, I'd have moved the kitchen to where the bathroom is now, extending it into the room a bit with dining area and put the small bath near your bedroom so it's just a quick out the room and around the corner, rather than all the way across the large great room.

The minimalism isn't quite to my taste, but I completely understand your desire to emphasize those amazing ceilings! I just love the tile in the bathroom though, and am incredibly jealous of that gorgeous patio off the bedroom.

Love the kitchen and bath. Good job.

wow its seems so spacious! cant believe its only 650 sq ft! its clean and simple but still has personality! i would love to see more of the deck too... your outdoor space looks awesome!

Love the bathroom. Very sexy.

what SpinsLPs said!

Name of toilet please:-)

Captivating example of reclaimed wood! Modern, clean lines meeting a livable, organic space. Stunning! Love the red in the kitchen and the blue in the bath. Beautiful place. Thank you for sharing...

Your place is gorgeous -- I love that ceiling!

that ceiling is dope. I would eat off of it.

Beautiful!

Beautiful. Everything's right.

Hi, I made a documentary on the Earthquake shacks in 2006. Shot in many restored shacks and met people who grew up in them...Yours is truely one of the most beautiful ones. I wish I had known! Congratulations on owning a beautiful piece of history. I hope you win!

SWEET!

good luck

wish i was there!

Incredible use of 650 square feet! I love the balance between elegance and warmth.

Love the Heath tile!

love it! makes me want to get rid of 1/2 of my belongings...

Wow! you did such a nice job! hmmm are you always this neat?? ;)

i want to live in this magical little house.

Sure beats the crap out of the current day FEMA trailers. You've created a beautiful space to be envied by all.

I just bought a Bertazzoni stove - can you tell me if that's the matching range hood? I'm looking for a simple stainless hood that can convert to a recirculating system (I can't vent). Thanks. Great place!

Beautiful. We like it. Sandra and Chad

Becki, You give me apartment envy.

doesnt water get all over the bathroom when you shower? :)

Great bedroom with exit to outdoors!

thumbs up, jaime!

Great Space!

What a great history... reclaimed redwood, earthquake shacks, and are those Heath tiles?

the bathroom looks terrible, get rid of the blue bricks

the rest of the house is beautiful, love the wood floors and ceiling

Still in lurv the next day:-) Your place rocks!

awe-inspiring.

Much more impressive architecture than decor but a lovely home.

What a great use of reclaimed wood - it's a great look!

I'm having trouble accepting that this space is only 650 sq ft. Seriously? It's beautiful.

I'm drooling all over my keyboard....

I think I would spend way too much time lying on my back staring at the beautiful ceiling. My favorite wood is redwood.

It's the Eichler light fixture in the kitchen that wins me over!

amazing use of space

While I understand the ceiling is exquisite and you don't want the furniture to overpower it, it seems like the lack of furniture/objects makes the place feel a little too bare and cold. There's plenty of homes on here that have amazing architectural details and they've been able to make them the focal point without sacrificing some personality in the space.

love your bathroom.

planning on putting in a glass wall divider but had thought of mounting it on the shower half or in the middle. can you comment on how this holds up for wetness and cleanup vs. the other arraignments?
