As cities grow denser, finding ways to live better with less space becomes increasingly important. It’s not just about maximizing every square meter, but about rethinking how we live so that even a small studio can offer comfort and a quality of life similar to a larger dwelling. This means designing spaces that bring variety and give the impression of having as many rooms and functions as a bigger place.

At the heart of this approach lies a key challenge: how to create multiple distinct areas that enrich the living experience without closing off and fragmenting an already small space ?

In this design, there are no doors separating the main living areas. Instead, views, material changes, volume shifts, and furniture arrangements define each zone subtly. The home flows naturally from one space to another, maintaining openness and ease of movement. Comfort here isn’t measured by size, but by the richness of the atmospheres, clear circulation paths, and the feeling of a home that’s compact, bright, and welcoming.
