Towered above an interchange station in a development comprising more than 3,000 units, the brief calls for a precise design to intervene the layout of this compact 362’ studio flat in order to organize the interior.
In response to the storage requirements, new carpentry - a sizeable storage deck, a full height wardrobe and a hanging cabinet - are added to the flat. The off-site carpentry are designed and carefully configured to create and structure the various living spaces in the unit.
While the interior is mostly finished in an off-white paint, the new components come together to outline a refined and contrasting oak frame. It creates a transition between the elevated bedroom and the dressing area, and forms an opening that includes a multifunctional platform. The headboard provides storage for smaller items.
The contrasting off-white and oak as well as the refined trims extend to the living and dining areas. Besides the timber shell floating in the middle which puts the bedroom on a more private layer, the open plan can be further separated by a large sliding partition when preferred.
