Within Hong Kong's typically cramped living spaces, Absence from Island has designed a transforming 40sqm home for a young family of three. Rattan in Concrete Jungle was converted from an aging 90’s apartment, to a neat, airy home. By moving doorways, as well as creating full height storage and furniture that folds away the most intrusive items, like the dining table. In turn creating more room for the baby to play, and parents to work. It’s namesake rattan covers obscure even more storage and provide a unique natural highlight to a home deep in the concrete jungle of Hong Kong. Designed by www.absencefromisland.com/

I also like how the designers thought of how the child will grow up someday. I see many people building their babies a room, but once they grow up it just seems awkward to sleep in a room made for a baby. Also, the family can live there for a long time, if they choose to.

At first, it was the juxtaposition of terrazzo tiles and wood veneer that caught my attention. Then it was the magnetic wall. But the hydraulic table blew me away.

Excellent design, I love the raised bedroom floor and the remote control desk. The under floor storage is deep and very useful. The dining table is clever, but it could have been done as a whole pull out table on wheels, set into the wall of cabinets as a silhouette. That way the banquettes can be used as seating too. The main bedroom with the padded window seat looks so comfortable and cosy, good to use as a baby bed too, while the baby is so small. The storage is phenomenal. Having a place for large items like suitcases and strollers is a major bonus. You always seem to be tripping over them otherwise.

You yourself can accomplish this by buying inexpensive IKEA wardrobes and painting them in the same color as the room that they're in. Even simply designed pieces like chests of drawers can look smooth and custom if the finish is similar. Buy 2 cans of the same interior paint and keep extra for wall or furniture touch ups, finish the furniture with a matte clear top coat.

@greenkingdomhk 3 года назад

An advice from a home organizer. A room with ONLY floor storage is not a good idea, it's quite troublesome to take out the storage, which means you have to pack your bed + pillows + blankets every morning and take them out every night. Due to the super moist weather in spring and summer (esp. this district is at the seaside), when hiding your pillow and blanket in the storage means that these items will be unable to dry off nicely. If you leave the bed there, whenever you have to take something out of the storage, you have to clear your bed. Under-bed or under-floor storage should only store something you will only take it out once or twice a year, such as winter clothings, blankets, briefcase, etc. Also, Hong Kong's apartment usually only have 2.4 metre height, adding floor storage make the room look "short" of height and people may even feel psychologically pressured since the ceiling is the way too close to the head.

@jessmullens5191 3 года назад

Yeah, this was the one thing I didn't like!

@didijoon 3 года назад

I think that storage is extra storage, not for every day use. They will most likely add a wardrobe or credenza with the child's clothes, as well as a baby bed and nursing chair or cushions for the mother. Also, if I remember correctly, they had a western double bed in their room, not a futon style bed, so probably, they'll get a single bed for the child when he or she is not a baby anymore and they'll put it on top of the floor storage and just keep it there instead of rolling in and out the mattress and blankets every day. I think that room has not been lived in yet. There are no decorations. They will most likely cover the under floor storage and hydraulic table for the first few years of the child's life. Bringing up the table only when the child reaches school age.

Much of the design can be duplicated by materials you can find or afford, or paint to match. Use things creatively, a plain wood queen bed platform can be attached to a wall like an empty frame, then it acts as the foundation for custom built-ins. Attach smaller pieces you buy or make cheaply, hinge a piece of wood over it and paint to match.

I find these to-the-ceiling storage solution are overwhelming the space, if you want to maximize for floor space and storage then yes, but the space would feel nicer if it were more balanced out

I absolutely love the look of those buildings! Reminds me of Michael Wolf's photography.

Really, really clever -- and I particularly like how functionality was prioritized without losing aesthetic clarity. Tuck-away furniture (like the table) only work IRL if quick and easy, and preferably something you can pull out and set up with one hand and in one or two movements, and kitchens and bedrooms need separation to be viable for long-term family living. As much as I wince at the lack of kitchen and the general realities of living in large cities like this, I can only applaud the great use of available space and light.
