Small apartment with creative storage box design

Architects have always struggled to fit as much functionality into a small space as possible. And the biggest challenge is knowing how to combine all the different elements so that the small apartment becomes neat and airy.

We can learn a thing or two from TOWOdesign. They recently transformed the interior of a loft apartment from central Shanghai into one of the most inspiring homes many people consider.

The apartment only has a total area of ​​48m2, but that does not prevent the neatness, light and airy space in the space. To achieve the perfect balance between appearance and function, the designers organized the apartment into a series of functional boxes.

Some of the pillars and walls have been exposed, showing the original sketches of the apartment

The flow of space is very beautiful and pristine throughout the apartment, not related to any traditional walls

In the center of the small apartment is a yellow box that incorporates the kitchen cabinets and serves as a divider between the bedroom and the living area. This yellow box is like a ray of sunshine, cheering up the decor and giving it a fresh vibe. The living space is open and airy, has a lot of natural light and feels very comfortable and homely. The sleeping box is located on the opposite side of the apartment and is covered in wood providing a cozy atmosphere. These are the highlights regarding the layout and organization of the indoor spaces.

The separation of functions is done in a rather unique way, through function boxes

The sleeping box has a stairway and lots of hidden storage along with beautiful cover lighting with warm colors inside.

The sleeping box is basically a small bedroom, with a bed, nightstand, storage shelves and all the basic features.

Large mirrors are strategically placed throughout the apartment, reflecting the space and giving the impression of openness

Walls, floors and ceilings are white throughout the apartment, except for a few exposed surfaces

There is no space to waste in this apartment. Every little nook and cranny is used in creative ways.

In the living room, the gray of the area rug and sofa matches the gray of the exposed beams and columns

The yellow color of the kitchen box is complemented by light wood accents, gray and crisp white surfaces

The nook in the hallway is not wasted either. It contains a coat tree and interesting decorative pictures.

The mirrors reflect the space and some interesting features with exposed concrete images, rough…
