The homeowner wanted to change an old flat into a relaxed and vibrant home, which would be rented out to a young couple. Before renovation, the kitchen was built just outside the bathroom. Such unfavourable layout would waste lots of space as well as causing hygiene problems. TRIGHT’s designer deliberately rearranged the layout by demolishing the original bathroom and transformed it as part of the kitchen, which greatly increased the kitchen space and minimised hygiene risks. The expanded area became a proper location for kitchen cabinets, cooker hood and cooking stove. The sink was set with space underneath for washing machine. The new bathroom was rebuilt on the other side to avoid any hygiene issues. A doorless shower cubicle was also built to save bathroom space.

At least six colours were used in the whole flat. Contrasting light blue and yellow were the main colours of the living room and the dining room. Aside from brightening people’s mood while entering the flat, yellow is also a good choice for visually dividing the living room and the dining area, as well as enhancing the room’s brightness. Stylish black, blue and beige diatomite were used in the master room and the study room. Diatomite is a natural material with air-purifying property that help improve air quality, which is especially suitable for spaces where people would stay for a long period of time. The ceiling and part of the walls remained white to avoid making the rooms feel oppressive. The light wood flooring also added a delicate sense of harmony, creating a peaceful vibe.

This project is slightly different from our previous projects. Not only did the homeowner provide us with his design requirements, the tenants also expressed their design needs throughout the design process. TRIGHT’s designer balanced different opinions and styles to design a home which suit both parties’ needs with functionality and practicality, making the overall design more harmonious.
