Inspired by the owner’s dream of a zen, minimalist way of living, Arti Studio transformed a small apartment into a compact living space with Ryokan serenity.

Normally, within an apartment unit or a house, there should be at least an enclosed room with a door separated from the rest of the unit’s interior. In a project named after the sole owner, Alex, Spacedge Designs challenges the need of a door, even the need of a separated room in the first place. “In a space for one, there is technically no need for doors within the flat,” says William Chan of Spacedge Designs.
