TASK FORTY: HOME
tamiko is the proud owner of a reversible destiny loft — an architecture’s vision of extending livelihood. her home sleeps four, the bedroom accommodating two and the study room easily transformed into a sleeping area. the kitchen and living area are centralized, the entire floor plan circular. the bathroom is combined with personal laundry machines, and the fourth “pod” is a tatami room that tamiko primarily uses for mindfulness practices and hosting.
tamiko had a hand in choosing the interior colors (based on the palette already compiled), putting a word in after attending one of the complex’s workshops. she may have used the princess card, but she’d do it all over again for another one of these spaces. yes, the floor has bumps and slopes to promote conscious thought and making every movement meaningful. storage may seem non-existent at first glance, but hanging shelves and load-bearing hooks are available, encouraging creativity in the way one views a home.
the vibrancy and non-traditional aspects match tamiko’s personality — she wouldn’t dream of living in a four-walled fifty shades of beige home. she’s constantly rearranging what oddball furniture she has (hammocks and oversized puffy chairs to name a couple), her home never looks the same for repeat visitors.
