In today’s small houses it is extremely difficult to set up even a descent library cum study. But we cannot ignore taking good care of our mental muscles. To echo Cicero’s words, “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” The under stair space presents us with a fine opportunity of affording this rare luxury – a personal library. Display Shelves https://www.homify.co.uk/photo/1086556/casa-magalhaes Instead of the under stair area, Floret Aquitectura uses the side wall to install stylish display shelves. From musical dvds, stationery, files to books these are made to preserve many household items. A few of these could also be used to display your precious collectibles or neatly tuck away some of the knick knacks that every home have in store. A part of this could also be dedicated to the playthings of the younger members of the family, if any. Mini Bar / Wine Cellar …show more content…

You may also have thick and cosy cushions laid on floor to create an additional living area. This may serve the dual purpose of a bunk bed, though only for a short while. In case of the latter do not forget to make it as snug and comfortable as possible. Everyone would hate the idea of getting up in the morning with cramps all over the body. Having a full-fledged kid’s playroom would be another great way of making full use of this otherwise idle space. Needless to say, if you choose to do so, you will make the little ones very happy.

Like this staircase here, the underside can be used to flaunt your work as well. The gallery beside the spiral staircase is not technically a part of the stair though. It is more a faux partition to show off such collection. Guest Toilet

    In a display along the wall to the left of a house-like display, behind the small, white picket fence, of items the patron would typically see in a 1930s era home that include an antique sewing machine table and an old phonograph player. On the wall above this display has some old black and white photos taken during that era that capture the hardships the people faced such as the farming difficulties and the breathing difficulties, the black cloud of dust rolling into town, and the great sadness in the aftermath when the dust finally settled, showing everything buried in a blanket of dirt. The house-like display consists of a typical 1930s living room that include such items as family heirlooms and family photos. The museum patron can walk up onto the porch and go in the front door as if walking into the house itself. Upon stepping inside, the patron will see things like old photos, a rocking chair, a couch, and a desk.

The reason why I did it was because I was sharing a bunkbed with my brother and the house was always very loud, completely filled with people who were always making lots of noise. The basement bedroom was the only place in the house not constantly filled with other people, it did have people coming in and out through.

Also, the overall structure of the room is large enough to accommodate a substantial Gothic collection. It, however, was not large enough for the entire collection, as Gothic items sprawl throughout the Long Gallery, Chapel, along with Gothic tapestries by the stairs.

    These sensory signals have a large impact on our relationship and experience of an environment because they are able to physically and emotionally engage and connect us to the architecture. Although these types of sensorial qualities may not make or break the successfulness of architecture, they must remain of high importance because of their ability to reinforce an individual’s personal connection to a place. Juhani Pallasmaa, claims that our design culture has forgotten the importance of the senses in engaging our whole being- physical and emotional- in an architectural experience.
