Three-Story Residential Design with Limited Land that is D

Having a small area of land is certainly not an obstacle to having a comfortable residence. One of them is this residential house design in New York, US. This three-story residence can utilize the height of the space very well. With an area of 122 square meters, from the living room to the bedroom is available in it.

This house is a Duplex house, where there are two residential houses in one building. Of course, the two residences are separated from the outside with different occupants. Unlike the house next door, this house is designed to be open with a glass wall on the front. Of course it exposes the inside of the residence.

By exposing the inside of the house with glass, there are certainly pluses and minuses. A house that looks narrow will certainly feel more spacious because residents inside the dwelling can see outside. Light and air circulation will also be maximized into the residential house. As for the minus value, the house becomes less private because people who are outside can find out the owner's activities inside. Of course, not all activities can be seen, but for those of you who are very concerned about privacy in various spaces in the house can turn it into a solid wall with several openings.

The trees at the front of the house make the terrace area feel more shady and cool. This outside reception area also gives a friendly impression to guests who visit this residence. The sweet plant on the stairs of the neighboring residence adds a unique and natural impression.

Moving into the house, on the first floor, the living room is lowered by about one meter. This was done in order to provide a comfortable and not cramped space. The living room with an elongated L-shaped sofa has a modern design with a television hanging on the wall and a round coffee table. The design is simple and not overdone.

Behind the wooden brown door in this living room is a bathroom complete with toilet and shower area. The toilet and storage space are available on the ground floor. The back door is also an integral part of this multi-level residential house.

Moving on to the second floor, there is a spacious dining room and kitchen. The dining room is designed with an L-shaped sofa that is close to the wall and also a legged chair on the other side of the table. In the dining room area, residents can directly see outside the yard through a wide glass window. The chandelier also beautifies the interior of the room.

The kitchen area is designed on both sides of the wall after the dining area. At the bottom of the stairs, it is utilized as an area for washing various ingredients and kitchen utensils, while on the opposite side it is designed for cooking with an electric stove attached to the kitchen table. This section is equipped with a smoke vacuum on the ceiling of the table so that the smoke from cooking does not fill the room in the residential house. At the back of the second floor area, there is a toilet and also a storage room for cooking and eating utensils. Looks neat and clean.

As for the top floor, it functions as a private space for the owner of the residence. From outside the residence, the balcony of the house is connected to the stairs outside the residence. After climbing the stairs, the first thing you see is the lounge area. The soft round sofa installed in the corner of this room provides a comfortable space for residents to relax and take a break while watching TV.

The workspace in the corridor is equipped with a desk, computer and comfortable chair. The spacious corridor does not obstruct the circulation into and out of the bedroom. The room with white walls and skylights on the third floor is very bright so it is good for vision when working in front of the computer.

The bedroom is very minimalist in design with a mix of neutral colors such as white, beige, and gray. Some of the hanging decorations look very pretty with the right proportions as well as some of the paintings on the walls. The wide glass windows let in light from outside so that the residents can wake up and enjoy the view in the morning.

The space at the back on the top floor functions as a bathroom area and also a walk-in closet. The dressing room is large enough to be comfortable in the house. The shower is equipped with two showers. The gray color design in the entire space gives a clean and cool impression. The toilet area is located opposite the shower area.

Some unique things that can inspire a small home are the stairs in the house, and also the skylight on the top floor. The staircase is designed with a plank structure that allows light from above to spread throughout the room, even between the steps. This of course makes the whole area in the house brighter, coupled with the use of white color on the walls and ceiling.

The skylight on the top floor of the residence is not designed arbitrarily. There are two skylights in the residence, in the corridor and bedroom area. The skylights are angled to face the front of the house where there is a beautiful view of the leaves of the trees above. Light can also be distributed well at various times due to the right design of the skylight.
