Keeping things linear and clean, this unique apartment uses sliding doors as a design solution to make sure it saves as much space a possible.
Located in Hong Kong, this nifty apartment was designed by Clifton Leung Design Workshop to create a neutral decor theme and enhance the space-saving design solution the clients requested.
Everything about this apartment is compact: the TV in the living room is wall-mounted, two benches that can be separated to offer flexibility are used instead of a traditional sofa and of course there are the wall cabinets all over the apartment.
Not only are the ten sliding doors used to adjoin rooms via a central corridor running the length of the apartment, whenever opened or closed, they change the feel of the apartment from open concept to a more constructed space.
