When we bought an old house in April 2021, we decided to turn this space (that used to be a garage long ago) into a functional bachelor flat. The previous owner of the house used this space as an extra room. However, the small kitchenette was too basic, there was no cupboard space, and the lighting was not sufficient. We made our own drawings and thought of innovative ways to make use of every centimeter of space. The result is a light and bright bachelor flat with a compact kitchen, study area and cupboard, currently occupied by a young professional.
