Japanese apartment ** stan u japanskom stilu

It's about time to share all those links I saved on my favorites bar ages ago. Today we'll enjoy this smart Japanese apartment designed based on the bento box (it's a Japanese lunch box with compartments for diferent food), as owners have many passions and needed much space to store everything that goes with them.
Using this masterwork of micro-architecture, properly known as the obento, as a model, the architects created a multifunctional space that “made use of every little inch” of the 120m2 interior.
This apartment is unmistakably Japanese in detail as well as spirit. The kitchen was designed for the demands of Japanese cooking, with counters adjacent to the sink big enough to hold canisters of rice and rice cookers. Lining the wall of the main room is a perforated drying closet where owner hangs clothes after washing them. Daughters have sleeping lofts above their closets, and the master bedroom sits on a platform with trap doors on top, where the bedding is stored during the day. With its bleached bamboo floors, white walls and shojilike frosted glass pocket doors, the uncluttered loft is as peaceful as a Japanese teahouse.

Krajnje je vrijeme da objavljujem i silne linkove koje sam sačuvala kao 'omiljene'. Tako danas počinjem sa predstavljanjem stana u japanskom stilu, inspirisanim bento kutijom (to je japanska kutija za ručak u par nivoa, sa pregradama). Vlasnici imaju mnogo hobija pa je bilo potrebno stvoriti prostor da smjeste sve što im je potrebno. Koristeći remek djelo mikro-arhitekture kao model, arhitekte su stvorili multifunkcionalan prostor kojim je iskorišćen svaki centimetar ovog stana od 120 kvadrata. Japanski duh se ogleda i u detaljima. Kuhinja je dizajnirana tako da odgovara zahtjevima japanskog kulinarstva, a tu je i perforirani zid koji iza sebe krije mjesto za sušenje garderobe. Ćerke spavaju na izdignutim krevetima ispod kojih se nalazi garderobni ormar, a roditeljska soba je smještena na platformi sa unutrašnjim skrovištem za posteljinu preko dana. Zbog izbjeljenog poda od bambusa, bijelih zidova i kliznih vrata od peskiranog stakla, ovaj stan liči na japansku čajnu kuću.
