17 square meters, small apartment, a good fit, a design inspiration

cool tiny apartment
With more and more (developers) condominiums here in the Philipppines offering “studio units”, here’s one interior design model we can all look at. I’ve seen 18 sqm to 20 sqm units for sale and this is close to what this featured tiny apartment’s area is. In English units and exact measurements, Steve Sauer’s home is a 11-feet-3-inches wide, by 16-feet-2-inches deep, by 10-feet-4-inches tall. Roughly 3.5 meters by 5 meters. Now that depth/length/width is common with studio bare condo units offered in the Philippines, but the key if you want to get this Japanese or Scandinavian look, it has to have at least 3 meters ceiling height. So that, multi-level functional spaces can be structured.
(We have a penthouse 25 sqm condo unit btw which turned into a 35 square meter loft type unit after some works were done. The loft-area is located where the apex of the roofing is. So look for units with high clearance in case you’re on a look out to buy a condo unit. Or buy ours! It can be utilized in so many ways, bunk bedding, small work area, storage even. Some of the photos of the unit are posted here at site btw, the one one with white painted interiors. Now if you want a little more rooms squeeze out of a space, check this Hong Kong architect’s home.)
How he did it?
- The will to execute the undrawn design. Straight out of his mind.
- Lots of Ikea items
- He happens to be somewhat of a builder/engineer and so the things he can’t find, he build ’em.
- Tons of internet research, and buying stuff from eBay
- Spend 7 years on the build!
In the end, he intelligently and more importantly, beautifully packed the 182 square feet apartment with cafe area, tv lounge, 2 beds, kitchen and dining, bath with shower, storage for two bikes and a bathing tub tucked under the floor.
Consult your (budget)-friendly interior designer if you want to do this kind of design for your prized condominium unit.
