Candy Cube residence is a creative and imaginative space that distances the owners from the busy city can envelop them into a calming cocoon.
Based in Tai Hang, Hong Kong and designed by architect Nelson Chow, Candy Cube sits on the border between where the city and nature begin to merge. The 59sqm micro-apartment was designed by chow for a friend with the brief to be “fun, colourful and futuristic” – keeping a focus on storage to keep clutter at bay.
Chow changed the entire original floorplan from a two-bedroom space, removing the internal walls to utilise the spaces full potential.
The space-age kitchen is sanitary and metallic, with good lighting entering from either side of the room. Entering the home is done so straight into this space. On entering the living area through the kitchen, you are greeted with curved walls, movable dividers, bright colours with bright yet muted colours, creating an otherworldly aesthetic.
“The living, dining, and sleeping areas are all in this space defined by the custom furniture that tastefully decorates each zone,” Never Too Small explains on the site. “All furnishings have been carefully selected and designed for this home from the custom curved kitchen door with a sculptural handle to the dining chairs with wheels that allow the table to serve a different purpose depending on the need.”
A bold four-poster bed with a giant window at the foot faces away from the dining area, separating the two spaces in a unique way.
