Spaces For Laundries

Laundry Time. Where do you conceal yours?

:-) The laundry is still evolving. Find some photos on what and how they have done with their laundries. .. Don't be ashamed for unusual spots to hide or place yours. Kitchen, bathroom, hallway - where? It can be even inside a cupboard somewhere. Washer and dryer can be on top of each other if they come separate. Specially made doors can conceal and help manage. Pull out baskets can be an add-on. Hanging space and storage are a plus if space allows. You will need plumbing, electrical connections and ventilation. You love your repetitive washing! Article Link is towards post lower.

".. Over time, laundries have moved out of that basic backyard shed and under the main roof, usually a small room close to the kitchen with a door that can be closed .."
".. in inner-city houses and apartments, the “hidden” laundry — a cavity containing washer, dryer and storage space concealed within another space within the house, such as the bathroom, kitchen or even a hallway — is popular. .."

".. many apartments weren’t built with an internal laundry. Most of them had a communal laundry or people took their washing to a laundromat. .."

".. if you have a front-loader washing machine you can put it wherever .."
".. Key to making a hidden laundry work is compromise — deciding what space and equipment is essential and what you can live without. .."

".. “People might turn the laundry into a study or an office,” .. “If they can incorporate the washer/dryer in the kitchen, it frees up another area of their house.” .."

".. I even put (built-in) ironing boards in kitchen islands so they can iron, be in the kitchen and watch the TV.”
When creating a hidden laundry, ensure you leave enough room to accommodate the washing machine and dryer with their associated cords and drainage hoses. .."
".. Washing machine water can run straight into a waste pipe, rather than a sink .."

".. “By adding an electric motor, the door can be opened or closed with the touch of a button — a real benefit to those with physical impairments,” John says. “The electric doors operate from a power outlet and radio remote controller.” .."

".. homeowners are also installing built-in ironing boards which are easy to access but not on display when not being used. .."
".. are also putting in drying cupboards,” .. “It’s for the items that you drip dry or if you come in and you’ve got a wet raincoat, it can go in the little cupboard that’s heated.” .."

In an age of increased urban living in much smaller spaces than the onetime picket-fence-surrounded stereotypical American suburban home, many companies are seeing big profits from thinking small. .."

Photos of private gardens of Bay Area USA

Photos of private gardens in a book

This is about a book with photos of private gardens of the Bay Area (Peninsula, San Francisco, East Bay, and Marin, Sonoma, Napa) of California, USA. Berner is a book editor and editorial consultant, and Lowry earned a degree in landscape architecture. Authors were looking for gardens that expressed a passion for gardening, and made good story with photos. Gardens in the book are private. Some are open to the public on certain days. Go to article via link below to find more. Book contains 256 pages and costs $60.
----------------
Spectacular photographs and insightful text provide a dazzling look at the great variety and charm of 39 local gardens in the new book “Private Gardens of the Bay Area.” From spacious to tiny, on hillsides or city rooftops, whether walled in for privacy or with vistas of ocean, bay or coastal hills, it’s all here and grouped into four regions: The Peninsula; San Francisco; East Bay; and Marin, Sonoma, Napa. Authors Susan Lowry and Nancy Berner explain what the garden owner wanted to achieve, such as a home for a collection of plants (palms, salvias, native plants); a landscape impervious to drought; bringing interest and usefulness to a tiny space; or a way to honor the architecture and garden design of an inherited site. Professional garden designers and/or landscape architects, some historic, many active now, are always given credit. .."

".. This is not a trend-chasing book, although a number of the gardens are new and exhibit up-to-the-minute ideas. Succulents, natives and other low-water plants are often featured, as are porous hardscape surfaces to trap whatever rainfall comes our way. .."

".. The book features gardens in various Bay Area microclimates. Some designs solve site problems, such as steep hillsides or strong winds. Some gardens are larger than most urban residents will have. However, the design choices, and especially the photos that show smaller details of the gardens, will be useful to every Bay Area gardener. .."

Storage Closet transforms into Eatery in NC USA

Doughnuts Eatery operates from 88 sft area - a storage closet.

Restaurant .. Micro Retail .. Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. Find Video here.
----------------
".. in NoDa, .. Little do they know that behind the brick, the crew at Reigning Doughnuts operates in just 88 square feet of space.
"We had a storage closet... We're like okay, what can we do with this closet,” questioned owner Jeff Tonidandel. “Yes, We make everything to order in the closet." .."
".. "Real estate's definitely tightening up for restaurants and its getting expensive," Tonidandel explained.
Commercial real estate broker Michael Emig agreed. .. “And price per square foot on a retail commercial front are definitely increased right now."
That's likely why he said he's starting to see a trend of business owners focus efforts on opening smaller storefronts.
"It’s very low overhead. Not big of a risk as opening a 1,000 (or) 2,000 square foot store. Not a lot to lose! More to gain,” added Emig. .."
".. create a good vibe here and have fun .."

Smart Furniture - Robotics

Smart Robotic Furniture by a Boston based startup.

--------
"Smart furniture transforms spaces in tiny apartments into bedrooms, work spaces, or closets
Imagine living in a cramped studio apartment in a large city—but being able to summon your bed or closet through a mobile app, call forth your desk using voice command, or have everything retract at the push of a button.

MIT Media Lab spinout Ori aims to make that type of robotic living a reality. The Boston-based startup is selling smart robotic furniture that transforms into a bedroom, working or storage area, or large closet—or slides back against the wall—to optimize space in small apartments.

Based on years of Media Lab work, Ori's system is an L-shaped unit installed on a track along a wall, so can slide back and forth. One side features a closet, a small fold-out desk, and several drawers and large cubbies. At the bottom is a pull-out bed. The other side of the unit includes a horizontal surface that can open out to form a table. The vertical surface above that features a large nook where a television can be placed, and additional drawers and cubbies. The third side, opposite the wall, contains still more shelving, and pegs to hang coats and other items. .."
