Sometimes I really think that if it is a person to live, the home is smaller and warmer, there is a 10 ㎡, 20 ㎡ is almost ~ this is not, today this big sister will show her only 14 ㎡ snail dwelling, the house can be described as "although the sparrow is small and complete"!
Ah Lian (pseudonym), a 34-year-old living in Hong Kong, moved into her current subdivided house in two years, and the small house is only 155 square feet, which translates to about 14 square meters.
Don't look at the size of this house is only "palm size", but it is also located in the relatively prosperous area of Kowloon, so the price is really a bit outrageous - 7,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, about 6,050 yuan, do you think it is a little difficult to accept...
Without further ado, let's take a look at this cramped and cramped subdivided room
Enter the entrance to your home
After passing through a narrow corridor and pushing open the main entrance, we came to the entrance of the house.
▲On the left-hand side is the door of Alian's house
For many of these subdivided apartments, the so-called entrance is actually just a temporary storage area, or a simple shoe cabinet shoe changing area, and the same is true of Ah Lian's home.
She uses the cramped corner space of the entrance to place the laminate frame, with a small shoe changing stool, to meet the needs of daily shoe changing and shoe storage, which not only makes simple use of the narrow space at the entrance, but also fully considers practicality.
Simple and clean "Dark Guard"
A door next to the entrance leads to the bathroom at home, where the space is equally compact.
The narrow bathroom is less than 2 square meters, and it is naturally a dark guard without windows.
But Ah Lian used small white square bricks to re-pave the surrounding walls, and replaced the floor tiles with gray, making the cramped bathroom look cleaner and cleaner, to a certain extent offsetting a bit of narrow and oppressive feeling.
Coming out of the bathroom, the dressing mirror made of four mirrors is attached to the wall, which does not take up too much space, and can be used as a vanity mirror and dressing mirror shared by the entrance and the bathroom, or it is quite good ~ and further inside, it is the kitchen at home.
Fully functional "pocket" kitchen
Like many subdivided rooms and nano buildings, this small home of Ah Lian also comes with a mini open kitchen.
▲Very small kitchen
Small kitchen, detailed design is really a lot.
- The kitchen fills the space with custom-made one-line cabinets, which just occupy the entire corner area, the countertop is embedded in the sink and the operation area for cutting and preparing vegetables is left, and it is still no problem for Ah Lian to cook some simple meals alone
- Don't you think there's something less? Yes, the small kitchen in this subdivided room is generally not allowed to use open flames, so it is usually used instead of a gas stove with an induction cooker, and when it is not used, it is stored in the bottom cabinet.
- The washing machine is also embedded under the cabinet, just and the bottom cabinet together to fill the space, in such a 14 square meters of subdivided room, it is not easy to put down a washing machine, of course, it is also very convenient.
▲Hanging cabinet storage
In addition, the storage in the kitchen is also very good, the hanging cabinet contains various ingredients, condiments, plastic wrap and other kitchen supplies, while the bottom cabinet under the sink stores her various bottles, cans, dishes and tableware, and uses the laminate to use the longitudinal space.
As for some other tableware and kitchen utensils that are often used, they are stored around the sink with wall hanging racks, which is easy to pick up.
"Palm-sized" living room
Next to the kitchen, there is the so-called living room in the subdivided room
Strictly speaking, there is no space between the living room and the kitchen, but a carpet, a low stool, a set of storage shelves, and a wooden pier style side table are used to create such a living room for Ah Lian to read and rest.
In order to reduce the sense of complexity and make the space of the small home more open and bright, the back of the living room "sofa" does not do any decoration, but retains the white background wall, and the light shines on it to form a reflection, so that the small home with a tight area appears bright.
Directly opposite the living room, there is no TV cabinet and TV wall, but the limited space is left for the makeup table and dining table.
The makeup table is replaced by a high cabinet, and below is a drawer, which can store some scattered debris in life; The dining table is a folding table, which can be placed on a laptop on weekdays, and when eating or working, it can be fully unfolded and immediately have a spacious desktop.
Bedroom partitioned by wardrobe
At the end of the subdivided room is the last area of the house, the bedroom.
The bedroom is placed next to the window, the lighting and ventilation are not bad, and this double bed, which is not large or small, brings a more comfortable sleeping environment to Ah Lian.
The most important thing is that Ah Lian also made a set of top-of-the-roof wardrobes next to the bed, which not only increased the space for the small family to store clothes, but also cleverly separated the bedroom and living room areas like the screen.
This wardrobe instead of the partition, not only makes the bedroom more secure, but also arranged by Ah Lian clearly, the two hanging areas inside are to store coats and pants, and the stacking area above is also sorted and classified with storage boxes, which is very convenient to find and take!
Summary at the end of the article
At this point, in fact, this 14㎡ small house we have completely finished looking, do you think this subdivided house is richer than imagined?
I personally feel that it is very comfortable to have such a small home in Hong Kong, even if it is only 14 square meters, to live alone! Of course, considering the location close to the city center, the price is indeed slightly outrageous...
If you were Ah Lian, would you choose to live in such a subdivided room? ~
