Design Approach
The client wanted an affordable, spacious one-bedroom house with a good layout. The living room needed to accommodate a 7-seater sofa set. The house should integrate well with its surroundings and provide To create an affordable yet beautiful 1-bedroom bungalow, we focused on efficient space utilization and cost-effective construction methods. The house has an internal space of 32 square meters, with overall dimensions of about 7 meters by 5 meters.
The living room was designed to accommodate a 7-seater configuration, ensuring ample seating space. Two large windows in the living room enhance natural lighting and ventilation, creating a bright and airy environment.
The kitchen seamlessly integrates with the rest of the house, offering space for a refrigerator, cooker, sink, and storage. To save costs, a separate dining room was omitted, with the living area doubling as a dining space.
The spacious bedroom includes a wardrobe, providing sufficient storage. The front porch connects well with the outdoors, offering a relaxing space. For construction, we used bricks that were plastered and painted, though natural keyed stones can be used as an alternative. A flat hidden roof system was employed to achieve a modern aesthetic and ensure proper drainage, preventing leakage.
The Result
The design successfully captured the client’s vision, delivering an affordable, low-maintenance house with excellent lighting and ventilation. The layout provides ample space for a 7-seater in the living room and integrates well with the kitchen.
The spacious bedroom and inviting front porch enhance the overall livability of the house. The project remained within budget while achieving a beautiful and functional design.
