Art is everywhere in the world, especially if a person opens their eyes to the creativity present in the mundanity of everyday things. Architecture is one example of functional but beautiful art that can be easily overlooked.
However, in one Singapore flat, the couple who lives there is making functional art within their own limited living space. A unique and innovative “wonder box” is changing the way this couple — and others who have taken note of the design — is viewing small spaces. Taking inspiration from displays at art galleries, the sleek, modern, and minimalistic box acts as a sort of artistic pod, letting the couple dictate the size of the spaces they need. By adjusting lighting and screen partitions, the couple can easily determine privacy and innovative use of their living space.
The box houses the TV nook, AC unit, storage space, two bathrooms, the kitchen, and the bomb shelter. Though that sounds like a lot, the extreme organization of the box makes everything simple and easy to find and use. For example, when the TV is not in use, the couple can shut the doors, making the box practically an art piece of its own as well as a way to make their house look sleeker. The box also has lighting just beneath the bottom edge, providing the illusion of weightlessness and visual interest.
This kind of practicality extends throughout the design of the rest of the house. Bookshelves that provide storage and display duties also perform as a headboard for a bed in one sleeping space. And a purposefully stained concrete floor throughout the entire home provides the cohesion needed to unite the space. With a color palette of blacks, whites, grays, and pops of red, the entire home is like visiting a modern art gallery, full of clean lines and appealing minimalism.
