NEVER TOO SMALL Hong Kong Walk-Up Tiny Apartment - 25sqm/269sqft

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Architects and interior designers PMDL Architecture + Design have recently completed a renovation of a 1960s five storey walk-up building on one of Hong Kong Island’s busiest thoroughfares. The building consists of five apartments above retail at ground level. Each apartment, with an area of 25m2, is designed around a service wall which implies a subdivision of the apartment while not minimising sense of space. www.pmdl.com.au/

    This plan avoids many of the problems seen in other "tiny" apartments. It has a normal double bed in a private compartment (not a loft bed, a Murphy bed or convertible couch), a kitchen with decent-sized fridge and counter space, and a shower stall (not a wet room). I could live in this one!

    @@wahana3115803 I did buy a lot of storage cabinets from IKEA and self install. Quite a nightmarish affair. Main reason is because the public housing I am in, HDB of Singapore, the wall is not straight. I ask IKEA how their installation would be like and they gave unsatisfactory answers. Saying would not make special arrangements for such curved walls. To be on the safe side I self installed. The end result maybe was 70 percent satisfactory, due to one man job and also someone chased me to return the drill. That said, the solution was not cheap. I didn't calculate how much I spent. But it might be 10,000 SGD just for the living room. Using Besta series. I used their Effectik series for the study room. That series is no longer selling. I highly suspected that the material is proned to growing mould. I encountered it on my shelf. I also installed upper cabinets in the kitchen. All one man job with no assistance. I think the best solution is to have as little possession as possible.

    @@islandsunset Well I can only speak about the western capital I am living in. There is a massive missbalance between amount of people looking for a flat and the offer of payable appartments. One of the most profitable business is here to take e.g. a 3 room flat and create 3 one room studios out of it. Relatively the people pay then more for this smaller flats then. It is a good business for the owner. Same with the tiny appartments...more people per space = means more profit. It goes so far that here people in their 40s start to live again in shared flat like when they were Students. They "market" this as alternative and new lifestyle but to sum up it is just a reactions to the ridculous market prices!!! Also as soon as you have a partner or kids this whole thing is not working.

The place is clean and modern without feeling cold and uninviting. Nice use of woods with metals. The designer and architects were able to see the potential in this old building and think outside the box and reimagine how the space cold be used in a functional manner while still adhering to the form.
