What will the home of the future look like?
A team of architects (建造师) in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny, as populations
continue to grow and space becomes more expensive. They have designed “space
flats”. 83它们只有30
平米大。These
flats have three small rooms, a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, as well
as a balcony (阳台),but
everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.
The living room is the main room of the
flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen or even a second bedroom. There is
a sofa that can be changed into a bed. The dining table can be changed into a
computer desk. And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and the table can be
folded away and stored into a small apace in the wall. There is a flat-screen
TV, which can also serve as a computer monitor. In one corner of the room, a
small cooker, a microwave oven and a miniature refrigerator are hidden out of
sight.
The other rooms are small but useful. The
bathroom contains a toilet and a shower. The double bed in the bedroom can also
be a sofa, if necessary, The balcony has enough room for two people to sit and
enjoy the view from the block of flats. All the rooms have high ceiling to
provide as much storage space as possible, while the flat has large windows to
let in plenty of sunlight.
“Space flats “are now being tested in a
building in Hong Kong. “It’s wonderful,” said one resident(居民) “84. The flat is so well
designed that you feel that there is plenty of space”
