Designed as both a personal project and a prototype for future homes, this compact Malmö apartment reworks a typical 1.5-room layout to better suit young professionals. The approach focused on small, precise interventions to unlock the potential of the existing plan. The kitchen was relocated to allow for a separate bedroom, creating a clearer distinction between living and private spaces within a limited footprint.

The bathroom was reconfigured into a compact, efficient shower room with integrated laundry, while a series of subtle spatial adjustments improve everyday use. A sliding bedroom door reduces wasted space, the bathroom door helps define a small entrance zone, and additional storage is carefully integrated into the plan. The result is a modest but highly liveable apartment, where careful planning and restrained detailing significantly improve the quality of daily life.
