It is all about the clever use of space

This interior of a house located on Upper East Coast Road was redesigned with clever use of space for a couple with three kids. In the 3,100 sq ft townhouse, the client’s main requirement was to fit seven bedrooms, and a big dining and living space.

Knocking down the walls, the living and dining area is now a continuous generous space which includes the open kitchen with an island counter. The living area opens up to the terrace and becomes an extension of the living room enjoying the cooling cross-natural ventilation.

Wardrobe and storage areas are designed to reduce all lost space; even the steps to the roof terrace were designed to have storage space under them. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves are spotted in the main bedrooms to satisfy the client’s wish for storage space.

The family helper bedroom is a pleasant niche with a window and bathroom, well hidden above the kitchen by taking advantage of the high ceiling.
