This project was designed to minimize friction among family members by incorporating an integrated design approach and meticulous planning to conceal the belongings of busy parents in a compact Hong Kong-sized apartment, creating a gentle environment for their baby. Its central undulating wall unifies the spatial flow, acts as a wayfinding feature, and conceals a bathroom, cabinetry, and mechanical systems. Implementation of ‘horizontal’ and ‘vertical’ cabinetry allows additional wall space to be exposed. Hence, plentiful storage does not detract from an elegant, sensual, minimalist interior.
