This studio apartment was reimagined with a layout-first approach, prioritizing function, flow, and defined zones, all without permanent changes. The objective was to provide clear separation between sleeping, lounging, dining, and workspace areas, plus ample concealed storage and a full furniture refresh.

A renter-friendly, freestanding bookshelf was custom-designed to divide the room while preserving light and circulation. Each furnishing and styling choice was made for its impact, scale, and versatility, ensuring the space felt open and organized. The result shows how strategic space planning and layered textures can transform even the smallest home into a calm, elevated environment that supports daily living and practicality in every square foot.
