Hong Kong is well known for smaller living spaces that may border on cramped. Absence from Island redesigned an existing home to comfortably accommodate a family of three.
What was originally a dated flat straight out of the ’90s was converted into a 40sqm adaptable space that offers optimum storage while being light, airy and calming.
Foldaway furniture conceals the most intrusive furniture items, such as the dining room table, creating a larger space for the toddler to enjoy and giving the parents enough space to work from home. Wall-to-ceiling storage and moving doorways ensure that the space is used to its full potential.
Lightwood and rattan textures give the feeling of nature for this inner-city apartment, with soft tines and subtle hues, creating the illusion of even more space. A juxtaposition of textural elements gives the space an intersection and homey element, setting it apart from the usual apartments of the city.
