Sexy, sexy, sexy. This integrates many design ideas I would have never dreamed of adding together but the result is an imaginitive, dreamlike space that I would love to live in.

WOW!
This is the perfect flat!
I wish we could see more about the building outside, the inside looks awesome!

Mauro – If you haven’t already, visit the following site for more information…
http://www.mylife80m.com
click on menu and then ‘The Projects’. You won’t find a lot of information on the exterior (i.e. photos), but there are some drawings such as floor plans, axonometric and a section.

LOVE the ‘eyeball’ light fixture by the bed, and of course the Sottsass/Memphis floor lamp. Both work great in this space!

Amazing space! Can I live there while in Milan?

Very nice but no way is this budget design as their Web site would claim, this is very deluxe living. Nice but deluxe, be nice to see some truly practical and well designed space on a set budget.

gorgeous!
I agree, the quality of a living space does not depend on the size..unfortunatly it depends on money and budget..

Perfect choice of every single thing inside. Light as much as you need, and calmness everywhere.
The owner of this place is 100% HEALTHY in his head, which is very rare situation in these crazy times.
Great, excellent and great once again.
“Me like it”

@ MS: I agree. The gap between reality and this (though very nice) dream-setting could not be bigger. The target group (25-35 year olds) certainly have other problems than coping with 80m² “small” appartments.
If its really budget furniture Poliform should have mentioned some prices.
Lance on 30 Nov 2009 at 3:53 pm #
Agreed on the cost of the pieces, but it’s easily translated using some “higher end” ikea pieces and a few from bova, etc. But even then it’s not an inexpensive place to churn out design wise.

what was the budget for thisa project?
vinod on 30 Nov 2009 at 10:27 pm #
Its one of the most efficient designs I have come across. A very clean, neat and absolute design. Very inspiring. cost is not the factor when u r just building it on 80 sq.m. where else would u spend other thn interiors. I am very impressed even with the circulation, its just a super exuberant space.
WOW!!

I love this. Simple, fun, and contemporary. And I love the book case!
kelvyn on 01 Dec 2009 at 4:00 am #
This is really well planned out. BUT! This works due to the height of the ceiling and most cost effective living spaces have LOW ceilings which takes away the airiness and open concept described in these photos.
Nielsen on 01 Dec 2009 at 12:15 pm #
Very nice job. How they manage to cope with only 80 m² is way beyond my imagination!
Oh wait, it’s not, I have 13. And low ceiling…

In Mexico, a family of 3 lives on a house of 38m²… sad but true
vesey on 01 Dec 2009 at 9:26 pm #
Although the layout of the space looks fine these people need to make the place look like a home instead of a pop art store…………

Who shot the photos? They are beautiful.

Lovely! Not. This is too ‘clean’ and too ‘perfect’ to actually be comfortable or livable. It is contrived looking, sterile. And I’m surprised no one mentioned it, there doesn’t appear to be a lavatory, unless it is in the kitchen, or upstairs in the closet. Two other points, the reason no pictures from the outside?, it isn’t actually built anywhere. This is a ‘floor model’ set up in a warehouse. Notice the studio lighting, and fake plants outside the windows. And, since when is 80 sq meters considered “small”. I currently live in a two-bedroom single family house of about 56 sq meters (600 sq ft), and it is QUITE comfortable and livable. No high-end designer needed.

Very beautiful. I liked. Not a big house, but it is simple and very well designed!
I visit some time, but never commented. ‘m Commenting for the first time today. I love this site!
My house is only 45m² and you can live very well in a small space and organized. (:

I live in less than 300 sq feet with another person. 80m squared is miles compared to that! If I had that much space, floor to ceiling windows and almost infinitely high ceilings, I am sure my place would also have a nice open calm feeling. As it is, it has taken creativity and ingenuity to make the space work for us. Unfortunately, there is nothing pictured here that would be helpful to us, since even the shelving and the rugs looks like they would be far out of our price range. Most of our furniture we found on the street… I would like to see that featured!

It’s chic and unique but you havent created a comfortable space. Everything is too manufactured and clean and lacks character. Though some natural light is necessary in a living space, too much of it creates a feeling of exposure and anxiety. When too much natural light is combined with all those light colors it feels unsettling. A home is meant to be a sanctuary, not an art gallery.
Hanne on 09 Dec 2009 at 3:06 pm #
Great idea, and I am in love with the floorplan. I thinka I would incorporate more personality into the furniture, decorations etc.
mike on 10 Dec 2009 at 12:54 pm #
some really good mod i love the lay out this small place looks huge
Andy on 12 Dec 2009 at 10:19 am #
looks nice, certainly expands the visual effect of 80m sq.
mv on 28 Dec 2009 at 1:14 am #
OMG I SO want that Ruler rug that’s in the kitchen! where could I find something like that?!! Any ideas?
berny on 19 Jan 2010 at 2:36 pm #
does any any one knows the budget for the project?
Alex on 05 Feb 2010 at 7:04 pm #
80m2 is massive…..or at least it is for any of the international cities I’m familiar with! But maybe this apartment was designed in Zog. Does Poliform have a branch in Zog?
Anyhow, will echo the familiar cry – WHAT WAS THE BUDGET?
Overall I’m indifferent to this project until I know what the budget was. Would be impressed if it was £5k but not surprised if it was £25k (and therefore a bit of a joke!)
I like the kitchen…. would work well in my miniscule 35m2 flat – which incidentally is enough for me an my partner (but not a cat!).
Alex on 06 Feb 2010 at 4:34 am #
update guys….I called the showroom this morning and suprise surpise no one had a clue (actually it seems they were not even familiar with this marketing tool).
Anyway, a kitchen at 4m2 would start from £15,000. This approximation would only incorperate Neff appliances……
Anyhow – would hate to think how much the above project cost. I guess on a budget does not equate to budget in the world of Poliform
