Initiated as a challenge to push the boundaries of micro apartments, the design intent for this newly-built residence is to make the space perceivably larger than its actual footprint.
Home to a mother-daughter duo, the unit is modelled to create an elongated tunnel effect, by cladding oak panels across both sides of the wall. The flushed carpentry also doubles as concealed entrances to the bedrooms. To provide a more utilitarian arrangement, an additional pantry alleviates the appliance load, liberating the confined kitchen space. Inside the bedroom, a work desk neatly integrates into the wardrobe, forming new possibilities within the rigid layout.
