St. Kilda Micro Sanctuary is a 25 m² studio apartment in Melbourne. It was designed for a couple who spends only two to three months here each year. For the rest of the time, they rent it out for short-term stays. Because of this, the layout needed to be flexible, comfortable, and easy to maintain.
The client bought a tiny 35m2 1 bedroom apartment without a working kitchen. The challenge is to refurbish the unit with clever interventions to create a generous living condition and cozy interior design.
