Apartment Designs Shown With Rendered 3D Floor Plans

Today we feature the work of 3D modeling and texture artist Shako Gurgenidze and CG artist Dmitriy Schuka. They have created a series of beautiful 3D apartment plans that give you a view of the entire home in just one visual. Each 3D rendering shows entire one-floor apartment spaces that are fully decorated complete with wall art, bright paint, furnishings and fixtures, even patio space for some. Some of the designs are the same concept, but carried throughout one or two bedroom apartments to show how the design can be used in various sized spaces.

Designs 1 & 2 are simple, with neutral colors and resemble a bachelor pad for a young man.

The common feature in Dmitriy’s designs is that each of them has a recreation room/foyer, which would be hard to find in any apartment because of the lack of space. These rooms show a large amount of sports equipment being stored including skis, snowboards, skateboards, and more. It shows how his designs still have a great amount of storage space and that they would work for people with an active and adventurous lifestyle. 

3,4 and 5 are the complete opposite with pop art and bright colors in the furniture and walls. 


6,7 and 8 have different color blends in green carpets and blue chairs with wall paper in intricate designs. 






9, 10 and 11 show a classic Victorian style with deep burgundy and classically designed furniture. 


12, 13 and 14 are designs with a lot of texture in the brick walls and hardwood floors. These types of design would be typically found in an industrial styled loft building. 


Shako Gurgenidze’s designs have a different feature in common: the outdoor patio space. The green space really makes these designs shine with beautiful patios that add more living space to the apartment design. His designs feature white walls and light hardwood floors. Much of the furnishings are also done in wood and keep the feel of his designs very natural. His layouts are significantly larger than those of Dmitriy and provide a much more lavish apartment design because of this. A family could live comfortably in the layouts he designed. 









His final design is of a fully-functional rooftop patio that makes a great entertainment space for the potential residents of the building. 

The Smallest House in Italy

While people don’t tend to seek out the smallest house in a neighborhood when they are shopping around for places to live, the smallest house in Rome is difficult to pass up. At just 75 square feet, architect and designer Marco Pierazzi knew that he could turn this tiny apartment, just steps from St. Peter’s Square, into something not just livable, but something that was home. He renovated the building, which was likely constructed in the 1700s, adding modern touches without destroying the original structure. Although Pierazzi and his family have since moved to a larger space, he still rents the tiny home to friends who want a neat little nook to stay when visiting the city.

This was how the house looked BEFORE the renovation. 

Although small, the kitchen has a modern stovetop, sink, and attractive cabinetry for holding dishes and other kitchen essentials. 


A dining table that can seat up to four people folds out from the wall and can easily be stowed away when not in use. Exposed brick from the original structure give the kitchen area a feeling of a cozy corner café. 

With the table tucked away, a narrow staircase leads up to the bedroom and living area, where a trapdoor can be closed behind you so you don’t accidentally slip back downstairs. 



The bed folds up into a sofa with a wall-mounted television for relaxing or entertaining. Exposed beams overhead match the dark wood floors and contrast with the mostly modern fixtures and décor. 




The bathroom is small but gleaming with just enough space for comfortable showering and daily rituals. 



Though modern life seems to demand more and more space for things, Pierazzi’s house proves that small can be plenty.
