Urbanization is increasing rapidly, as more and more people flock to big cities from rural areas to find better opportunities for themselves. This is putting a lot of pressure on housing, and people are finding themselves cramped into ever-smaller spaces as prices go up.
A Little Design, a design team from Taipei City in Taiwan, have come up with a brilliant example of maximizing space in a 22sq.m (236ft. sq) apartment. Taking their cues from their client, who travels abroad a lot for work and needs only a good sleep and a hot bath at home, they prioritized things like a mezzanine floor for a bed and desk, and clever use of empty space by making it flexible for different needs.
Every inch of space in the flat has been considered, and the white and oak color scheme makes the interior feel bright and spacious. I would certainly love to live in an apartment like this! This kind of smart, space conscious design is only becoming more relevant in today’s mega-cities, and this provides a practical example of what can be possible.

Urbanization means that living spaces in cities are becoming increasingly cramped
However, Taiwan-based design team ‘A Little Design’ make sure that every inch of space is maximized when they worked on this 22sq.m (236ft. sq) apartment
They include floor to ceiling storage
So there are no spaces wasted
A mezzanine creates more usable space upstairs
There isn’t enough room to stand so furniture like a bed and desk find their spot there
A ladder gives a trendy and practical touch
Giving access to the bookshelves that the client insisted should be a feature
The client works abroad a lot so only really needs a good sleep and a hot bath
Looks cozy!
