12sqm Mini Villa
A “shabby” hut hosting tens of thousands of books.
The project is located in the Dongluoquan Hutong, close to the most central part in Beijing. The family called the house as a “shabby” hut and a little too cramped.
The 12 square meters is the total space of the family of three, it including the function of having dinner, sleeping, working, and learning. Because the family has the great passion of reading book, the tens of thousands of books they owned have occupied most of the space of their house. On the premise of satisfying the basic function of renovation, the owners hope that the house can be full of scholarly atmosphere, back to the nature.
After the reformation, the various function of the house has a clear division. The parents and children have their own working and entertainment space. The newly added guest area and the bathroom promote the great realization in the pursuit of the ultimate function and style in limit space.
The entrance of the fully function kitchen is bright and spacious. The transparent glass introduces outdoor scene into the interior space. Promoting the interaction of outdoor and indoor.
The specially designed white bookcase is mounted on the wall and extends from the living room to the bedroom. Which meets the owner’s reading needs, and also creating a storage space for a large amount of books. The small drawers below the stairs provide the storage space for the clothing.
