Swoon-worthy Bachelor Pad

I've recently met another unit owner at the condominium we live in. He's a major network executive and a very much single bachelor-- and the proud owner of a super nifty pad that it actually warranted a post in Real Living. Can you imagine that this space is only 22 sq meters, but it's practically a full house-- with a fully-functional kitchen, an office and a bar?

He managed to convert this narrow hall into a small receiving area and his built-in closet opens to the right.


I love how utility incorporates into the design just like the wall clock shown here--- no space wasted!

He had a lot of knick-knacks which came from his travels abroad.


The customized cabinets solved storage problems. There's a lot of stuff behind those cabinets--- pantry, cleaning materials, food prep goodies, etc--- all stored neat and organized.

He opted to have a bar counter installed (with more storage underneath) instead of a little sitting-room. He says it's more important for him to have a large table given the documents he likes to spread around while working.



Here and I with Glenda, a senior bank manager at UCPB Galleria.


This DVD controls everything in the pad!

Now enter the bedroom


A little cute office with--- guess what--- more storage!

You can see how working on such a small space can actually be done.

His adorable little sleeping nook, filled with books, dvds, photographs and his collection of masks.

I can live in an apartment as small as this-- except for the bed, because I'm positive to find myself on the floor the next morning.

The bath was kept as it is, since it's already a nice, spartan quality of tilework. Mirrors were added to enlarge the space, and a little glass cabinet hides all the implements.


I should be working on a mood board for our future house now!
