HDM Space Design  Interior Design Alliance

Have you ever been tortured to madness by the size of a small home?
How exactly do you break down a small home that is too small?
Each function is very small.
You bought a house and you’re just living in it?
Don’t have extra space for activities and storage?
Events don’t open and single student apartments can’t host friends and parties?
Want a senior white-collar feel but can’t do space?
Is it true that a small home can only degrade itself into a mere sleeping nest?
We’re saying no to all of this.
How to make a big difference in a small bachelor pad?
We’re going to show you how to do magic with a small house.
See how HDM’s tenant optimization team can make infinite possibilities out of limited space.

The original structure

Owner requirements.
● Senior white collar workers
● Simple space, maximum storage
● Usually host friends and small gatherings
● Comfort and quality
● Live on your own for a while, use it as a two-person house during the newlywed period, then move to a bigger house when you have children.

▲Original floor plan

Let’s start with an analysis of the original house plan
The whole space looks rather cramped.
The entry dining room is already cramped, with poor lighting and ventilation.
The bathroom is small and cramped, with no sense of quality.
Awkward relationship with the restaurant
The living room is small and can only fit one sofa.
Balcony matching too large and wasting area
Problems such as too little overall storage
Overall feeling: suffocating, willful

In response to these issues, the HDM optimization team has taken this account in several directions.

Share it with you and have a mind-blowing discussion with you to untangle the array of issues that plague you!

HDM Optimization Plan I

If you feel that the last option bedroom bed is not the feeling you are looking for
Then the choice of this scheme satisfies your desire for quality in the bedroom!
Someone said.
If you want to get a sense of a person’s quality of life and aspirations you can check out Ta’s bathroom.
Bathrooms are easy to overlook in general
A space that feels unimportant
that’s not true
We can still have a high quality bathroom in a small design.
That’s the way we live.
Let’s continue to explore more surprises down the road.

HDM Optimization Plan V

Solution Analysis

1. Keep the independence of the entrance and kitchen of the previous scheme.
2. The left side of the entrance line to the cloakroom, washing and drying machine combined with the wardrobe in one.
3. The bathroom from the cloakroom to enter, although the area is not very large, but still meet the configuration of the four-piece set, the use of glass permeability to strengthen the small space to maximize the line of sight, so that the space is not depressed, the use of energized glass, permeability and privacy coexist, but also some sense of science and technology and fun!
4. From the cloakroom can come directly to the bedroom area, the bedroom to do a two-stage elevated floor, enhance the fun at the same time greatly meet the storage function.
5. The bedroom double dynamic settings, so that the space to form a large circular motion, allowing people to shuttle freely in space, bedroom, cloakroom, bathroom can form a large suite of feelings
6. The guest restaurant function in the last program made an upgrade to enhance storage while setting up the Murphy bed function to meet the needs of the overnight stay

Utilize the square box design concept, retaining the interesting circular motion of the previous scheme.
Basically, it maximizes the possibilities of the original tenant without making major adjustments to the functional area.
Does it feel like you’re lifting a thousand pounds?
Regardless, the solution is comfortable and fun.
It’s what the design needs to do.
The programme doesn’t end there, move on.

HDM Optimized Plane Solution VII

Solution Analysis

1. Close the distance to the entrance, more independence and storage.
2. Toilet is still located in the lower right corner, taking up as little space as possible in the center.
3. Tthe central area may release the maximum space to the guest kitchen design, to maximize the sense of space
4. Retain the original bedroom location, the use of sliding doors to open the bedroom design, further expand the overall sense of space, to enhance the public areas of lighting and ventilation.

A small space can be a big design.
Just like the little guy with the big dream.
Nothing’s impossible if you think it, if you dare to do it.
You’ll get results you never expected.
What do you think of all the options you’ve seen?
Hold on, let’s go over the last option before you think about it.

HDM Optimization Plan 8

Solution Analysis

1. Weaken the function of the kitchen as much as possible
2. The space given to the bathroom, to make a star hotel comfort and fun, semi-open design, to strengthen the sense of space.
3. The living room bedroom full open design, it is possible to make the space larger, more free

The whole space is made more free and more open.
More expressive
Hotel apartment design as a concept development
It’s over. You can feel better now.
You can leave your thoughts in the comment section
Which design suits you better?
What kind of lifestyle do you seek?
Is it hard to choose after seeing so many options?
Do you feel like you can’t get enough of each proposal?
Is it a shame to discard either option?
Yes.
But each solution also finds its owner.
Each scheme has its own unique character and style.
Everyone’s lifestyle also dictates the shape of the space you choose to occupy.

Therefore, when we make a plan, we have to customize a unique plan for each owner according to their lifestyle, quality of life, personal temperament, family members, desired family atmosphere, etc. Therefore, we do not make a plan blindly, we need to do an all-round analysis and positioning, collect useful information, and then open our brains to create space and carefully build an exclusive private residence.
