NEVER TOO SMALL: Flexible Japanese Inspired Apartment, Thailand 33sqm/355sqft

Показать описание

Inspired by the calm and peaceful atmosphere of traditional Japanese Ryokans, this central Bangkok apartment has been transformed into a flexible city escape by interior designer Mae Prachasilcha. The main living area seamlessly integrates a study corner, a convertible coffee table/dining table, and a custom-designed 3-seater modular sofa that can be cleverly separated with very strategically incorporated sliding Japanese shoji doors. Divided from the living area by these doors, a wooden box-like platform with four tatami mats serves as a second living room or a cosy tea room during the day and effortlessly transitions into a sleeping area at night. The area can be closed off by using the sliding panels, offering privacy and keeping the room cool at night. This multifunctional approach adds softness and functionality to the space while still allowing light to filter throughout the home.

That's probably the most spacious-feeling <400 sqft
apartment I've seen. Well done Mae!

Love the design! So serene, calm and very functional. I also love the fact that you always let the architects speak themselves and don't use voiceovers! Every video feels so personal because of that...

One of the best designs I've seen, for such a small space, at just 33sqm!.. I loved the use of wood, which gave it a cosy, homely feel, rather than just painting eveything white... The coffee/dining table and TV/framed picture were lovely touches, along with the sliding doors and row of plants, for privacy... I'd love to live there... Mae is a great designer! 🦋

I love this so much. It's incredibly peaceful and minimalistic but not sterile. Also, the closed-off kitchen makes so much sense in a tiny space, you'd want to keep the food aromas from getting into the rest of the apartment. It feels absolutely flooded with light and air. I love how you can hear her smile when she talks about her brother's board games.

Too often "Japanese" styled rooms rarely look Japanese but this apartment renovation is spot on! 素晴らしい!

I love that they have a large enough sofa for two people to lounge on, rather than some nonsense like stapling a lawn chair cushion to a plywood bench. This is a great use of space for *real* furniture!

I really love how that one part of the sofa stays in the convertible room. Very comfortable and functional!

This place is amazing! When you consider the size it becomes mind-blowing! Mae is my favourite 🙂. I'm zulu and we also don't have the letter "R" in our language, I enjoyed hearing how similarly our cultures get around this inconvenience imposed on us by the English language lol.

Changing sleeping area to the tatami tea zone and sleeping area that's very genius!! First thing that people are gonna see is tea zone with a plant on background and TV with natural picture. It's so cool!!
