EDITOR’S LETTER HW
Welcome to the big issue on small spaces. In this edition of HOMEWORKS, we focus on maximising limited space. As Architect Simon Grech states during his interview – ‘We’re interested in small spaces and how we can make the most out of them – this is where architectural challenge truly lies’ – good architecture and design is becoming increasingly linked to the maximisation of space, particularly in Malta. With space becoming such a commodity, so much can be achieved through clever design. The divergent homes in this issue illustrate different ideas and solutions for small spaces. Furthermore, we’ve packed in some great features, inclusive of Summer Styling (page 052), Made In Malta (page 056), and Super Shelves (page 064). This issue is also the very first to hold the new and improved A-Z Directory (starting on page 104). The section is extremely helpful with a myriad of different suppliers, alphabetised by service and product subject. Finally, a quick and easy reference for home improvement!
