Case Address: Shun Tin Estate, Kwun Tong

The washbasin was moved out of the toilet and transformed into a multi-functional screen

Under the original design of public housing toilets, the separation of dry and wet areas often faces limitations. However, moving the washbasin and mirror cabinet out of the toilet door not only achieves a certain degree of dry-wet separation but also effectively solves the problem of family members competing for the toilet in the morning when they are in a hurry. This screen-style design not only adds a sense of privacy to the entrance of the house but also avoids the discomfort of seeing the toilet directly as soon as the door is opened. It enhances the home’s style while being more practical.

The shared sliding door for the kitchen and bathroom is more flexible in use

The kitchen and bathroom are designed with a sliding door shared on both sides, which is an ideal solution for saving decoration costs and space. Such a design not only enables families to make more flexible use of the limited space, but also reduces the burden of customizing two doors. For small-sized units or public housing tenants, it is truly a trump card.

The trackless sliding door is safe and convenient

The sliding door design completely abandons the floor track, not only making the overall space more fashionable but also very practical. The advantage of not requiring ground tracks is that there is no risk of tripping, which is especially friendly to the elderly or families that need wheelchairs to enter and exit. In addition, cleaning is more convenient. There is no longer a need to frequently deal with the problem of dirt accumulation on the ground tracks, which is both convenient and safe. Wood-grain tiles can run through the entire house, allowing the visual space to extend further.

Partition usage reduces interference

In response to the compact living space in Hong Kong, separating the use of the toilet and washing up is a great helper to improve the efficiency of life. In this design case, it not only meets the basic daily needs but also reduces mutual interference, achieving meticulous and considerate home planning and enhancing the living experience of the entire family.

Low-cost and high-efficiency design

This case demonstrates the possibility of achieving the greatest functional improvement with the least decoration expenditure. The screen-style washbasin, sliding doors and shared design are all inspired by the daily life needs of Hong Kong residents, aiming to create a practical and aesthetically pleasing home space within a limited budget.
