How this came about

My girlfriend handed me this case study about her flat, mentioning how much she likes the layout. I've taken it upon myself to envision how we want our home could be in the future.

Client deets

She's a designer, pretty much married to her job most of the time. She's been eyeing two Samoyed dogs, but they're expensive, so she's gotta deal with it on her own. She's into music, although she leans towards the Korean kind.

Requirements | Wants

Girlfriend likes studio apartments, and I took it literally, because I want a space at home to not only practice my craft, but a designated space to explore other mediums that I have interest in, she is free to join if she wants to.


And 2 samoyed, but I told her that we will pocket void deck cats instead, enough to start a soccer team with substitutes, but she doesn't seem too keen on it.

COURTYARD

After studying the floor plan at hand, I realised that there is sufficient space for a courtyard. I envisioned a space where its a space where I can bridge both outside and in together. A space where you can take your shoes off outside and comfortably.


Loose furniture was chosen over fixed, because it provides flexibility.


Personally, I would like to keep plants, and its a designated space for me to do so.

Usually, the house will only have 2 occupants, however when the need to host guests over, the pile of loose furniture can be utilised to have a makeshift dining | seating space.


Comfortable for 4

Enough for 6


However, if there isn't a need for it, they can be utilised for other uses, both in the studio and the courtyard.

ENTRY

ENTRY

Main entrance

Living entrance

Studio entrance

During the planning phase of the project, I wanted the space to have multiple entry points, and ways to manoeuvre around the home. Therefore, entrance to car spaces of the home. For example, if I'm coming home from grocery shopping, I will take the living room entrance to the kitchen from the living room entrance, and if I need to access something from the studio, the studio entrance will be utilised.

OUT OF MIND

Though there isn't much storage space within the space itself. I was reminded later that my uncle's old home had an entertainment room in his condominium, which had storages underneath the tatami mats.


Therefore this storage / seating was created. The furniture has multiple outlets of storage that serves different purposes.

KITCHEN &

UTILITY

ROOM

The kitchen was planned to be lightweight, as I believe that we both don't engage in heavy cooking. Therefore, the kitchen is split into half, one for cooking

[maggi mee] & the other half, a

pantry. The pantry will be used

as prep table as well.

THE POLE

The use of poles are consistent within the space itself. Here in the kitchen, the function is similar to the one in the living room, it is used to hang many different items, but in the example above, it is used to hang bread, rags, and coffee bags, making something that is mundane, giving it character and a designated space.

LAUNDRY

BAY

The Laundry bay is comprised of the washing machine, ironing station, and clothes hanging spot.

The idea going into the laundry bay is to have everything within reach. Therefore having clothes hanging area just above the door [2100mm].

A combination of cabinet and sink. This station mainly functions as a washing bay.

UTILITY

SHELF

The large shelf will keep cleaning instruments. The use of metal poles are also used in here, as it serves as a drying rack for cleaning rags.

During the planning phase,

she mentioned that she likes accordion

doors, and it was decided to be used within

the space, and the to be used as wardrobe doors as well.


It felt like a good addition to the materiality and visual texture of the space.

REQUEST

TILAM

ON

THE

FLOOR

Partition are extruded on the top to make the space feel more like a cube - instead of having furniture sticking out from the walls, the furniture are part of the wall, in a way, it makes the space feel more spacious, unobstructed area [wardrobe area].


Instead of hiding beams on the ceiling, I prefer to embrace it, in a way, using it to segregate spaces.


Embracing it, rather that covering it up.

We like the idea of sleeping on the floor [maybe she doesn't].


The mattress is encased in concrete frame that would be cast on the floor. With fillet edges to make it smooth to the touch.

GHOST IN THE SHELL (2017) - DR OUELET'S APARTMENT

I remember watching Ghost In The Shell a couple of years ago, I think the reviews said it was bad, but I really appreciated the architecture and the interior within the realm of cyberpunk.

Specifically, this scene, though its supposed to be a sleeping area in the film, I have a feel for the space, low ceiling height, and warm ceiling light [minus the window at the back].Subjectively speaking, the space within the scene gave me the impression that its a good spot for reflection.
