Screen as a Room Divider

cascade_by_michelle_brand Few days ago, in Convert it: Space and Layout, we proposed using a screen as a room divider to convert a 1BR apartment with an alcove into 1BR apartment with an “additional room”.

Today, we would like to explore this simple conversion /space separation in more detail.

Before we discuss some available options, let’s start with a question: what will be the desired use of this additional room after the conversion? The answer will determine the general type of the divider. We could, for example, use it as a guest room, a home office, or perhaps a nursery. You may add to this list your own. The answer would help us in choosing the best screen divider in terms of desired level of privacy.

Furnish it: 2BR at New York by Gehry

prince-bed-king-modloft-1456 Few days ago we shared some information about 2BR 2BA with Terrace at New York by Gehry, available for rent in July at the net effective rate of $6,743 per month (meaning, it is really $7,305, but you will receive one month free on a thirteen month lease), and called it “a sophisticated proposition for the design-minded” (open for discussion). And if you can afford this rent ($87,660 on a 13 months contract), you may as well the furniture? Take a look: [more]

Convert it: Space and Layout

lerivage_roofdeck_photo Space and Layout, plus a little bit of creativity, and the right perspective. The idea here is to show you how, by picking the right layout and being creative in the process of furnishing the space, you can save yourself quite a bit of money, otherwise needed for the apartment with a “proper name tag” (2 bedroom 2 bathroom in this case).

So, what we have here is a 1BR with an alcove, and with 2 full bathrooms (one with a tub and one with a shower stall), and our plan is to “convert” the alcove into your second “bedroom space” (not into a bedroom per say, since by missing a window we cannot call it as such, but into a night zone space that would serve the same purpose).

And all we really need is a nicely designed screen (more about it soon), to make this little project happen. Easy. Take a look, and let us know what you think: [more]
