How would you with a Family of $ in a Studio Unit? In a space that every inch is a luxury, with no space to spare. It is crucial that we identify the requirements of the clients.  

For 7 Months, Through online communication with lots of Exchange of E-mails and Waiting Period. We had come to a conclusion where both the client and us are happy to proceed with the construction project and two-months to finish the project while the owner is on its vacation in the Philippines. Pulling all the design and construction resources to meet the deeadline. 

The Design Goal

The Design Goal of this project, Was a Modern Design. Have a Minimalist Look that is All-White Theme, and a Touch of Accent Colors. 

The main concern of the owner was the limited space for him and his family. A Family of 3 + a relative living under the same studio unit.

The Studio Unit is a 30sqm open space and a limited space was the main concern of the owner. This is also to make use of the existing items that had been purchased by the client and by the previous contractor, As for this project. We have to take over the project and agreed to re-design the entire spacec, should he avail of my services, and I’m glad that we are on the same page. 

The Requirements

• To have a huge Kitchen will lots of storage space that should go altogether with their requirements

• The Requirements are to have a Kitchen , A Dining Space, and A Writing Space.

• A Media Wall that can accomodate a 65″ Wall mounted TV

• Multi Storage Space that would fit all their storage needs.

The Process

The process was to pull all the suppliers and contractors involved in this project to meet our deadline. Everyone involved was round the clock.

As the Designer, Leading the project was my main role aside from being the Interior Designer, thus “Project Management” was part of my services that was availed.

• Supplier Coordination 
• Contractor Management
• Manpower Management
• Administrative Works, and more 

The client is hands on this project and he is highly involved in the process. Each item was carefully selected and discussed before locking-in or signing with the selected supplier or contractor by the client.

The Result

The look upon entering this almost all-white studio unit. We added laminated floors from Design Source Inc. placed on top of the floor, which material was from Brazil. The extended main kitchen and the stretched out kitchen pantry seen on the other side was definitely their top priority. The kitchen appliances and kitchen storage came from Hafele which we both enjoyed when sourcing things to make their space functional and modern. 

This is the kitchen pantry aligned to the main kitchen using a synthetic solid surface, which is my recommended material. The media area also served as a dining area and a writing desk as it also uses a synthetic countertop to match its high-gloss melamine boards and pure white paints from Boysen. 

The mirror was already here when we started designing as this was done by this previous contractor, we just retained and work around what we can do. As you have noticed, this has a yellowish color because we used tri-color lights and 2 cove lights both in warm white and daylight, giving him options on what they like best. The styling wasn’t done as requested by the client since their items will be brought the following day. Speaking of a crucial turnover.

 Here is the look in front of the mirror with me, taking photos before I leave. On the right side is the sliding wardrobe, located behind the kitchen. This is connected to each other including on its beams.  Speaking of Smart Home, we only applied what was practical, no Alexa just remote and switches that eases everything and a mechanism that organizes your stuff.

The family of 3 arrived the following day bringing all their belongings from their apartment and in no time as per my visit late in the afternoon,  every door cabinet was filled with their things and a little left for new ones. We were able to pull that off in 60 days, the floors, the cabinetry works, and general construction work. It was so little time with a big scope of work. It was a bit stressful as time becomes your competition to keep on track of the schedule despite having setbacks it was all worth it seeing your design becoming a reality.
