If you want to realize three bedrooms and one living room in a 45 ㎡ suite area, I’m afraid it’s hard to imagine how crowded it will be, right? But today’s transformation case may completely subvert your cognition ~

This is a set located in Xicheng, BeijingRenovation of school district housingProject, the occupants areThe owner and his wife and their son and daughter。 A family of four will spend at least six years here, and this house also carries the most important growth stage of two children.

The original apartment is a typical square one-bedroom apartment, which is obviously small: standing at the door, you can see the head at a glance. To live in a family of four, and each member should have a private space,Change one-bedroom to three-bedroomIs a core requirement. At the same time, the couple also hopeMake the common areas as spacious as possible, can create more warm time with children.

The house isAll-north, single-sided lighting。 Because the residential building is distributed in a “back” shape, the only light entry surface is blocked by the front building, and the indoor space is closed, so lighting is severely limited,Dark kitchen, dark bathroomThe user experience is not ideal. In addition, a 3.6 ㎡ storage room is full of sundries, and the utilization rate is extremely low.

Fortunately, the load-bearing structure of the house is not complicated, and the degree of freedom of transformation is high, so it can be optimized one by one for these defects.

This time the designer introduced“Sleeping cabin”The concept, through customized furniture, added two independent sleeping areas in the living room, which skillfully solved the pain point of insufficient small houses.

Key points of transformation:

1、Weaken the boundaries of functional areas and expand the northward light entry surface;
2、Appropriately reduce the master bedroom and increase the area of public areas;
3、Turn parts into whole, blur the sense of boundaries of kitchen, and createLDK layout integrating guest, dining and kitchen, allowing the family to have more interactive space.

Entrance

The left side of the original apartment entrance is the toilet, and the right side is connected to the kitchen, lacking independent porch and storage functions. The designer changed the kitchen to an open plan andUse the corner cabinet at the end of the cabinet to realize the entrance storage, the storage space for shoes and coats is enough.

In order to facilitate embedding in the refrigerator, the depth of the entrance cabinet is 600 mm. It will be somewhat inconvenient to take the items inside at this depth, so the entrance cabinet will beDivided into two to make a double-sided corner design。

Shoes are stored on the side facing the entrance door, and clothes are hung on the side facing the living room, and the moving lines are smoother.

On the left side of the door, there is a new oneWashing station, which alleviated the trouble of the “peak” of going to the toilet in the morning for a family of four, and also established a “line of defense” in the post-epidemic era. You can wash and disinfect your hands immediately after entering the door.

The left side of the sink is actually a pipe well, and this space is used for storage. A groove is specially set aside at the bottom to facilitate the placement of small objects such as keys when entering the door.

Kitchen

The original apartment is the layout of guests and meals, and the open kitchen is integrated during the renovation, forming aLDK integratedThe space of. The dining table + the middle island platform becomes the center of the public area, forming an efficientMigratory line, connect each space in series.

The kitchen is small but fully functional. The overall layout is defined bySmooth cooking lineConnect in series, take ingredients, clean, prepare meals, and cook in one go. From the pot to the table, you only need to turn around to finish it.

The dining area can be used by four people at the same time. The kitchen side choseRattan benchInstead of traditional dining chairs, it can be completely received under the table when not in use, keeping the aisle spacious.

The kitchen wall and island facade are all adoptedRock slab, the echo on the material unifies the vision and is easy to take care of. Nakajima has designed a sink, installed a water purification system inside, and installed a track socket on the side to facilitate the use of small household appliances. The owner’s family usually eats simple meals with less oil and salt, and the open kitchen is basically not troubled by oil fume.

Looking from the kitchen area to the living room, study area and children’s room, you can have a panoramic view of every corner of the home on the dining island, and parents can see the children’s situation at any time.

Living room

Lighting and ventilation are the key factors affecting residential happiness. In order to solve the defects of poor lighting in apartment, designers boldly adoptedOpen layout, reduce partition blocking and make the space appear brighter and more transparent.

The living room is a place for family interaction and children to learn. The owner does not want to be bound by too much furniture, so he abandons the traditional sofa + TV layout.Leave ample room to move around, convenient for the family to play games.

The best lighting position is reserved for the study area,Two liftable study tablesPlaced side by side under the window not only ensures sufficient light, but also does not block indoor lighting.

SelectedLightweight and easily movable sofa, and withProjectorInstead of a television. An electric curtain is installed on the roof of the children’s room, facing the master bed, so you can watch movies on the sofa or bed.

The children are learning to dance, so they set up a sideFull body mirror, located on the moving line entering the room from the porch. This can not only conveniently tidy up your appearance before going out, but also be used as a dance mirror for children.

The wide mirror has a good reflective effect and can visually extend the space.

Children’s Room

Children’s room design introduces“Sleeping cabin”Concept, two new independent small rooms were built in the original storage room, usingUpper bed and lower cabinetIt is convenient to store children’s clothes and toys. After the renovation, not only the rigid need of three bedrooms was realized, but also the originally closed and cramped space was liberated through compact and reasonable layout.

The two sleeping cabins are equipped with independent entrances, separated in the middle.This not only saves space, but also ensures their independence. At the same time, the close distance can make the two children feel that they are not separated. The two rooms are also specially designed with “small mechanisms”-four different sizesCircular window, playful and cute, enhances the interaction with the external space, and is also conducive to the interior ventilation and breathability of the children’s room.

The entrances on both sides are installed respectivelyWall mounted handrail, which is convenient for children to borrow strength when climbing and ensures safety.

Mattresses are laid directly in the sleeping cabin, and light strips and independent switches are installed inside. The small space is warm and full of security.

The lower area is both a play area and a storage space, which is mainly used to store the clothes and toys of the brothers and sisters.

The wardrobe is separated by an open toy storage compartment in the middle, which is easy to use for men on the left and women on the right.

The night moving line of the children’s room will pass through the dining area, and the designer has set up the door of the island platform and bathroom respectivelySensor night light, you can see clearly without turning on the lighting of the whole house, which is very considerate ~

Master bedroom

Across from the children’s room is the master bedroom. To save space, adoptFloor bedInstead of a regular bed frame. Considering that the 2-year-old son is still young, for the convenience of care, the master bedroom is temporarily open for treatment. The designer reserved in advanceSliding door track, can be changed to an independent bedroom at any time later.

A wardrobe was made against the wall for storage. An open storage compartment is reserved under the cabinet instead of the bedside table, which is convenient for storing mobile phones, books and other items before going to bed.

There is a structural beam above the entrance to the bedroom, which the designer cleverly usedCurved top surfaceModeling, when there is no ceiling in public areas, perfectly blocks this defect.

Toilet

Bathroom entrance adoptsInvisible doorDesign, so that the walls of public areas remain unified and have a stronger sense of integrity.

Use glass partition in bathroom to realizeWet and dry separation, and realized the efficient use of small space through several details:
1. AdoptWall-mounted toilet, a storage cabinet is made above the water tank to facilitate storage of consumables such as detergents and toilet paper;

2, designed1.8 m extra-long sink, all the way to the toilet area. The oversized countertop is convenient to use with children, and an open storage compartment is made under the countertop for convenient storage of toilet paper;
3, designedWall nicheA socket is reserved to facilitate charging electric toothbrushes and other devices.

Housekeeping room

The bathroom was too small to fit the washing machine, so we used the kitchen drain next to the position to separate aSeparate laundry room。 Stacking the washing and drying set up and down saves space, and also solves the problem of not having a balcony to dry clothes.

Lockers are made all around, convenient for storing laundry detergent and other supplies. Wall utilizationHole plateStore cleaning tools on the wall, make efficient use of vertical space, and don’t waste every inch of space.

Balance the living scale of a family of four,
Drop down three bedrooms and spacious common areas,
At the same time, it improves the problem of poor lighting and ventilation of the apartment.
The renovated space has an open and spacious layout,
Visually, it is hidden and exposed, and it can be described as super strong!
