In recent yea`s, the trend toward smaller homes has become not only a necessity but also an alternative lifestyle. Many architects and designers as well as a growing number of buyers who could certainly afford a bigger residence are now opting for a home of limited dimensions, because they have learnt to discover the pleasures and recognize the potential of living in a small space. Nowadays, the new contemporary lifestyle revolves around such spaces, in the form of apartments, duplexes, lofts and houses propitious to countless innovative solutions for reduced dimensions: multifunctional furniture, combined areas, rooms with a double function, built-in closets, movable tables, sliding doors, etc. Moreover, technological advances have enabled once bulky music systems, televisions and lighting equipment to become not only smaller but also more practical and attractive. Other factors such as the appropriate lighting, layout and choice of materials help create the illusion that much more space is available than is really the case. Skylights, spotlights, reflecting surfaces, translucent materials, partitions... the possibilities are infinite.
