Remodelling life from the ground up, Desa Kiara

Though often overlooked, the interior and spatial planning of a home is crucial for a families with growing children. This couple of a 20-year old home at Desa Kiara recognised the need for a makeover for their 2-year old daughter and decided to part ways with their poor living condition.
We created an open space that’s practical for daily chores and up-keeping of their home. Unnecessary walls were torn down to minimise a claustrophobic feeling and helps with supervision of their child at all corners. What was once a bedroom without a bed, they are now incorporated with low-level furnishings for convenient storage of toddler items.

Seeing a kitchen space was relatively small, we modified the door and removed a wall to minimise constriction of movements within the kitchen - a seemingly simple solution that makes a big difference for daily errands.

The unit got a major makeover, with minimal superfluous items to keep life easy for the parents to manage their young one.

重塑生活格调 Desa Kiara

尽管经常被忽视,一间住家的内部和空间规划对于拥有孩子的家庭来说极其重要。意识到这一点,居住在Desa Kiara的这对年轻夫妇决定为了他们2岁的女儿改造居家空间,从而改善生活环境。

因而,我们创造了一个空旷且实用的空间,便于他们日常作息与家务打理。首先拆除不必要的墙壁,不但减少了室内幽闭之感,更有助于让家长监看孩子在各个角落的活动。为方便存放幼儿用品,我们将简单的家具和橱柜安放在之前被闲置的卧室里。

由于厨房空间相对较小,我们修改了厨房门,并拆除了一堵墙,尽量扩大厨房内的活动空间——这看似简单的解决方案,却对日常生活有很大的影响。

这个单位虽然进行了一次大改造,但其实只涉及了极少量的物品项目,以确保这对年轻父母能同时间够轻松地照顾孩子的起居生活。
