Design Challenge: In a compact city living space design, aesthetic is a basic requirement. But functionalities come before anything else. For a everyday life, a good storage strategy is crucial. The balance between aesthetic and functionality is a major challenge in design process. In this particular case, invisible cabinet units are built to meet elegant appearance. Square units under TATAMI flooring, rectangular units under and behind sofa, a pantry for filming equipment, not to mention the various tailor made carpentry to fit uses needs.
Research: Design would be a key solution to compact city living. This particular case studied human-factors in every detail.
