The living room houses plenty of concealed storage, like the full-height TV cabinet. The bi-fold doors on the right open up to reveal the household’s Steigen laundry rack, which had to be relocated here to free up space in the kitchen.

The home was kept bright and minimalist to enhance its spaciousness, with touches like a TV frame which conceals all wires in the dining room. Next to the dining table is a full-height shoe cabinet and storage area.

Since the kitchen was limited and every inch had to be utilised, Mark had to reconfigure the old layout to accommodate appliances like the refrigerator and dishwasher.

Other activities that are traditionally done in the kitchen area, like laundry, had to be relegated to other parts of the house – like the Steigen laundry rack in the living area, for instance. The washer and dryer were moved to the bathroom.

In each of the bedrooms, Mark created ample study space and storage in the form of platform beds.

He also added creative, practical elements like a drawer that opens up into an ironing board, which can be tucked away when not in use.

In the bathroom, Mark incorporated micro-cement screed walls for easy maintenance.

Since there was only one bathroom to be shared among the four occupants, it also had to be made more flexible – hence the separate WC and shower areas. That way, it would be possible for more people to use the area at a time without any privacy issues.
