新加坡这套公寓的主人给了Spacedge Designs的创始人兼首席设计师William Chan完全的自由来设计他的家，该住所包括起居/用餐区，厨房，卧室和浴室，总面积不到50平方米。
The owner of this apartment in Singapore gave Spacedge Designs founder and chief designer William Chan complete freedom to design his home, which comprises a living/dining area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, all in just under 50 square metres.
Chan说，我以一种对客户和他的生活方式都有意义的方式优化了空间，设计的理念围绕着重新配置这些区域，用统一的设计语言将它们表达为一系列的结构。我把房子设计成“一个热爱简约线条的单身汉的乌托邦式空间”。
‘I optimised the space in a way that made sense for the client and his lifestyle’, says Chan. The designer’s concept centred around reconfiguring the areas to express them as a series of structures with a unified design language. Chan explains that he designed the home as a ‘utopian space for a bachelor who loves the bare beauty of minimalist lines’.
事实证明，公寓的布局是最大的挑战，Chan选择拆除不必要的内墙和门，以创造更好的流动性和流畅的开放式设计。 为了便于维护和保持一致，橱柜使用了木质层压板，该橱柜可隐藏各种功能性家具，如书桌和衣柜，以及冰箱和洗衣机等电器。为了保持这种均匀性，在整个公寓中都使用了微水泥地板，包括浴室的潮湿区域（以前是厨房）。
The apartment’s layout proved to be the biggest challenge, and Chan opted to remove unnecessary internal walls and doors in order to create a better flow and a fluid, open plan. For ease of maintenance and uniformity, wood laminate was used for the cabinetry, which conceals various functional furniture like a desk and a wardrobe, as well as appliances such as the fridge and washing machine. Continuing this uniformity, microcement flooring was applied throughout the apartment, including in the wet area of the bathroom (formerly the kitchen).
防空洞是该公寓中Chan最喜欢的元素之一，防空洞门已经完全打开，现已成为公共区域的一部分。 ‘庇护所是为战时紧急情况而建造的，但现在大多数人都将它们用作储藏室。 我把它变成了一个更有意义的空间：一个背光展示客户的建筑模型集合。
One of Chan’s favourite elements in the apartment is the bomb shelter, which has become part of the common area now that its door remains fully open. ‘The shelters were built for wartime emergencies, but most people use them as storage rooms now. I turned it into a more meaningful space: a backlit display of the client’s collection of architecture models,’ Chan says.
除了橱柜内部，极少的家具和配件还刷上了深蓝色，使原本静默的空间更加醒目。Chan说：“我们选择了另外一种颜色来表达我们的观点。客厅墙上的荧光橙色“点”是我设计的一个硬币盒，作为风水元素。Chan精心挑选的这些家具具有很强的视觉价值、图形形状和个性，家中的所有物品都是相辅相成的。
Along with the cupboard interiors, minimal furniture and accessories bring pops of deep blue that punctuate the otherwise muted space. ‘The only other colour here was selected to make a statement’, Chan says. ‘The fluorescent orange ‘dot’ on the living room wall is a coin bank I designed as a feng shui element.’ Carefully selected by Chan for their strong visual value, graphic shapes and individual characters, all items in the home complement one another.
