No room at home to work? No room for a kitchen? No room for Great Aunt Ethel to stay?
No problem, thanks to the slightly odd, very Japanese and super space efficient creations of Architect Toshihiko Suzuki and his ‘Architectural Furniture’.

His three designs, a foldaway office, kitchen and guest room offer a neat solution to limited [...]

We like clever designs at FindaProperty. And we like smart, green ideas.  So when a marriage of the two comes to our attention, we like to share the joy.
Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we bring to your attention the Can Can Chair, a regal looking affair (albeit toytown-sized) that is made entirely from recycled [...]

Consider this. It’s 1952. You live in Boswell, British Columbia, and you’ve spent 35 years working as a mortician in the local funeral parlour.
Now it’s time to retire. But how are you going to make the most of your twilight years?
David H. Brown could have spent them trout fishing in the local lakes, but instead [...]

“There’s a curious truth in architecture that the worse the conditions of the project, the more beautiful the solution.”
So mused Kevin McCloud about this beleaguered project in Cheltenham when Grand Designs featured it back in January.
But I think Kev may have been having a bit of an off day. The house, built in defiance of [...]

Here’s possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen all day. Some deck builder (that’s skateboards not verandas) over in Canada has specced out his board-building school with a very special staircase
As eager students hurry towards the basement to learn the ancient craft of skateboard construction, their scuffed up Supras and dirty Vans will have to navigate [...]

So this is how it is: you’re living in a shared flat, your flatmate Dave has annoyed you once too often - he’s nicked your milk *again* and left crumbs in your margarine.
You’ve seen the Godfather a billion times and you know he’s showing you far too little respect. This shmoe needs to get da [...]

I’m sometimes seduced by the idea of downsizing and living on the road, but I find modern mobile living solutions are inherently fugly (admittedly with some exceptions; design classic the Airstream caravan for one, and the Comfort Caravan below ain’t bad neither).
Now I think I’ve found the answer. Teeny, tiny houses made of wood! And [...]

The French - not usually a people who drop the ball when it comes to style - have not only recently dropped it but have also hoofed it out of the Stade de France
Specifically it’s their President’s fault. For Monsieur Sarkozy has expressed a desire to remodel Parisian suburbs after that apogee of English suburban [...]

It’s caravanning, Jim, but not as we know it.
Q: How do you turn the old-fashioned caravan into a trendy affair?
A: It’s easy! Simply:
1. Include the word Pod in the blurb
2. Manufacture it in a lurid funky colour
3. Give it a catchy name
4. Market it to ‘urbanites’
And, hey presto, welcome to the brand new world of [...]

Here’s a great way to get yourself a free house. Pose as an artist, say you want to create a gallery/meeting space that’s environmentally sound and get your local community to donate all their scrap wood and raw materials that would otherwise end up lying in a skip somewhere.
Now that’s not entirely what German designers [...]
