This Apartment Boasts an Unusual Kitchen and Bedroom. Let’s Take a Home Tour

What sets this apartment apart is its exceptional layout.

However, for the owners of this apartment, this zoning turned out to be a creative solution.

Originally, the apartment was a single-room layout, featuring one enormous room, with the kitchen having a separate entrance from the hallway. The options were limited: keep everything as is or carve out a separate space for the bedroom. Let’s take a closer look at the outcome.

Here, you’ll only find a bed and a bedside table. They addressed the lighting concern by installing an internal window.

The bathroom is the most modest space in the apartment. It’s quite tight in here.

But the balcony in this apartment is a haven of comfort. An umbrella shields from the scorching sun and rain, while a string of lights creates a unique atmosphere in the evenings.
