Interior designer Aleksi Hautamäki transformed a 51-square-meter studio apartment into a three-room home featuring high ceilings and a cosy living room. Head over to Design Stories to learn about the innovative solutions used to transform this century-old home!

1. MAKE USE OF CEILING HEIGHT. High rooms offer maximum storage space with integrated built-in furniture. You can reach the top shelves using a ladder.

2. BRIGHTEN WITH WINDOWS.​​​​​​​ Natural light flows even in divided spaces by adding an transom window near the ceiling. A small room can also appear larger with a glass wall.

3. INTEGRATE EVERYTHING. Keep pathways clear by integrating the television and other devices into the walls. In older buildings, make use of every nook and cranny, such as old cold closets and doorways.
