The central section of the house has been dedicated to the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen sits in a semi-recess, cleverly defining its parameters without encroaching on the open-plan design of the overall space. The stainless steel of the kitchen contrasts beautifully with brightly coloured handmade Portuguese tiles by Ceramica de Bicesse. Effective storage solutions are key to the design of small spaces, especially in the kitchen, where storage has been incorporated on three levels. A stainless steel rail mounted onto the tiled splashback ensures regularly used items are kept off the main work surface yet within easy reach, while the positioning of the window allows the windowsill to be used as an extra shelf. Further storage is provided by open shelving that stretches the lengt...

Creating compact, innovative solutions for the sleeping area, toilet, shower and kitchen were also key to [Peter Hulting]'s design concept and achieved, in part, by allowing the walls of these areas to work like large pieces of furniture within the main space. Towards one end a wardrobe doubles as a wall divider, separating the sleeping area from the rest of the house. Two sliding doors providing dual access to the bed, while the reverse of the wardrobe divider doubles as a set of bookshelves at the foot of the bed. There is also space for two loft beds here, while the simple design of Ulf Scherlin's "Bir 4" cupboard ensures that any clutter is neatly stored away out of sight. Low-level windows in oiled pinewood provide some natural light - as well as views of the grass slope outside -...

[Rahel Belatchew Lerdell] knows and understands the concepts and principles of the 20(th) century Modernist movement and smoothly incorporates them into her distinctive design. With the completion of the house, Rahel has successfully synthesized the elements of the Bauhaus philosophy: Use of visual space and light; Use of the landscape to support the house; traditional indigenous materials, and the functional simplicity in the interior scheme. Rahel says she does have an overall good feeling on the completion of the house. "I'm quite happy," she says, "but never entirely satisfied. I can always find things that could be done differently, but overall it worked out well." She adds that while the minimalist look may seem simple, it really is difficult to achieve. "It demands a lot of thoug...

[Maja]'s art collection plays on themes suggested by its history. Built in a traditional wooden courtyard building of the 1870'$, it was once home to the mistress of a sailor who used to visit her during his stays in Helsinki. There is some innuendo that he might not have been her only gentleman visitor, and so a boudoir theme developed for the artworks produced by artists and designers represented by Huippu Design Management. Stickers made from vintage photos of nudists and pin-ups, which now decorate the tiled wood-burning stove were made by Dog Design (also responsible for the graphic design of the Eurovision Song Contest soon to be hosted in Helsinki). An artwork of lipstick kisses on the window, by Antti Kotilainen, usually a designer of office furniture, is called 'Goodbye.' In th...
