Rent
to Own.ph: One of 2013's best livable micro apartments, this Alan Chu design is
only 36 square meters and displays the best things in a small home -
simplicity, efficiency and beauty.
In
an attempt to save space, Alan Chu confined all the storage to a
single wall, with an entertainment system in crate-like boxes at one end
and kitchen cupboards that swing or slide open at the other.

"The idea is to use a single element to organise the
space of the small apartment with an area of 36 square metres, distributed over
two floors," he told Dezeen.

Red surfaces inside the pinewood units match the scarlet
fridge and rug, the only colour in the otherwise monochrome and wood interior.

"The apartment is the temporary residence of a recently
divorced young businessman and the decor plays with the transience of the
moment: a time of changes, improvisation and reorganisation," Chu said.

White tiles laid in a brickwork pattern cover three walls of
the lower floor while the fourth is taken up by floor-to-ceiling windows.

A large sofa bed beneath the double-height portion of the
apartment takes up the majority of the floor space, though there is also room
for a small table and chairs.

A black metal staircase spirals up to the mezzanine through
another wooden box that sits opposite the bathroom, tucked in one corner and
surrounded by dark walls.

Black is also used for the wall behind the bed, the only item
of furniture on the glass-edged balcony apart from a chair and a wall-mounted
lamp.

Dark wood covering the ceiling below is also laid on the
mezzanine floor and glass panels form balustrades that help retain an open
feeling.
