【Renovation Design Case Study】300 sq. ft. small flat renovation example — suitable reference for newly completed public housing and HOS flats, Kai Yan Court, On Sau Court, Yip Wong Estate⋯⋯
As urban density compresses living space, designers use spatial intelligence to overcome the physical limitations of small flats.裝修佬We have selected three renovation cases of no more than 300 sq ft to see how small flats can be designed to be both beautiful and practical.
Public housing - Tai Hing Estate 300 sq ft
Flexible transparent partitions
Black-framed glass sliding doors separate the kitchen/bathroom from the living room. When opened, the movable doors allow users to move easily between the two areas; when closed, they create a complete resting area while blocking cooking fumes and moisture. The glass doors maintain light permeability, greatly enhancing daylight and visually expanding the sense of brightness. This “flexible partition” allows the compact core area to switch between different spatial modes according to need.
Layering functions in vertical space
The designer makes full use of the ceiling height to transform the home into a three-dimensional living space. The sleeping area adopts a suspended platform bed design, with a horizontal wardrobe built into the space beneath the bed base. The cabinet doors use concealed handles in the same colour family as the wall. An arched light-transmitting window is cut beside the bed, cleverly bringing natural light in from the adjoining space and easing the sense of oppression often associated with raised beds. Particularly worth noting is the slim storage groove extending from the bed base, which can hold a mobile phone and charging devices. Built-in lighting and power sockets also make it convenient for users before going to sleep at night.
Corridor transformed into a storage hub
This full-height composite storage cabinet makes the most of the corridor space at the entrance, greatly increasing storage capacity. The cabinet is divided into different sections for storing everyday items such as umbrellas, rain gear and bedding. The extended dark grey bench makes it easy to put on shoes, while also concealing a flip-top shoe cabinet. The hollowed-out countertop in the centre is perfect for placing small items such as keys, while the recessed area below is ideal for slippers — delivering both functionality and ample storage.
Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme - Ching Fu Court 280 sq ft
Cream-white palette
The designer used a “visual subtraction” approach to resolve the long, narrow layout: the TV wall integrates a two-tier cabinet system, with cream-white lacquered cabinets above for larger household items, and floor cabinets below that cleverly conceal audiovisual cabling. The sofa platform was deliberately raised to add storage space, while also concealing a foldable dining table. The light wood-grain platform and beige floor tiles extend from the living room to the sleeping area behind the sofa. Under the glow of LED strip lighting, the bedroom can be glimpsed through the interior window, greatly enhancing the sense of visual space.
