The client set us a challenge to redesign his 35-square-metre flat, in Central London, so it could accommodate a full-size kitchen and dining table, living room, large shower, two double beds, home office and plenty of storage space, without having to compromise on space. In response, we created an open-plan interior with no corridors and built-in bespoke adaptable furniture to make the most of the available footprint and at the same time visually connect the whole flat. In the wider area of the property, we designed a raised birch plywood bed platform on one side of the room, which is separated from the main living area by a half-height bookshelf/tv. A second double bed is neatly hidden under this platform and can be pulled out when needed for guests. When not in use, the unit leaves space for a home office desk. Extra storage is also provided by drawers hidden in the steps up to the bed platform, as well as a built-in wardrobe. At the front of the house, a diagonal kitchen runs along one side of the space. A compact bathroom with a sliding door and generous shower is sandwiched between the main space and the kitchen. We also made the most of the high ceilings throughout the flat – part of a Victorian terraced house – by adding a mezzanine over the bathroom and entrance. This provides storage space to reduce clutter. The walls are painted white throughout apart from a single exposed brick wall in the living area, while continuous woven vinyl flooring ties the space together. Client was amazed by what we managed to achieve and is now living there with partner and baby as a fully functional flat. We have since specialized in micro living as the project was featured on various of publications.
