This 72 square meter apartment is located in Montmartre, Paris, in France and was recently redesigned by SABO project, a design office that shows interest in a variety of fields, including architecture, furniture design, set design, installations and environmental strategies. The office focuses on finding new and unexpected ways of customizing contemporary designs and on making ordinary things seem different and extraordinary.
The same design office also refurbished a modern Brooklyn loft which we covered in a previous article. This time, however, their strategy was a bit different. This apartment belongs to a young fashion designer who wanted to team to rethink the whole space and to maximize it.
In order to achieve the desired structure and look, several partitions had to be removed. This opened up the space, connecting them and allowing them to communicate with each other. The team didn;t compromise on privacy. A multi-functional wall partition was added.
This structure functions as a staircase, work area, closet and storage space as well as a source of both natural and artificial light. Skylights and openings allow natural light to enter the central hallway and to be distributed throughout the apartment.
The alternate treat stairs were chosen for their symbolism and distinguished design. They celebrate the surrounding hills as well as Montmartre’s climbing culture. They’re white and minimalist, matching the rest of the décor.
The wooden flooring and the exposed ceiling beams break the monotony, contrasting with the crisp white décor and adding warmth to the space. A series of strong accent colors also have the same role.
The kitchen is a fresh and cheerful space. It features a steel countertop and white furniture. The floor with covered with natural rubber straps in 14 different colors. They form a vibrant pattern similar to a rainbow, giving the kitchen the dose of color and dynamism it needs.
The vertical garden in the kitchen offers fresh aromatic herbs and, at the same time, complements the array of colors, contributing to an overall harmonious and balanced décor.
The bedroom is a cozy and welcoming space with a simple and casual interior design. A skylight brings natural light in. the walls are white and so is the furniture. There’s a lovely balance of materials and colors here. Wood features are spread throughout the room in various forms, giving it a pleasant look.

Extravagant Star Wars House With Control Room For A Jedi
Referencing the cult saga Star Wars, South Korean architectural bureau Moon Hoon Land designed and implemented Star Wars House, a futuristic building with a flashy character. Its name and design are driven from the the childhood dream of the owner- that of someday becoming an astronaut. The irregular-shaped dwelling is located in a calm suburb and answers the need for peaceful living, in a time when more and more families in South Korea tend to move away from the crowded and polluted metropolises. A small footprint leaves enough space for gardening and outdoor relaxation areas.
An extravagant addition to its neighborhood, the project features concrete walls, large windows displayed both horizontally and vertically and beveled grooves in the facades, inspired by futuristic space ships. The Star Wars is composed of three levels, two of which are condensed below, while the upper story contains an open play room for the children. Architect Moon Hoon describes the top level as “a place high up that could be a control room for the future Darth Vader or a Jedi.” This special themed playground also comes with a secret room and a small slide.
