Let me show you what I did to my 23 square meter studio-type condominium unit:

I converted it to a personal work space where I can work on my architectural stuff and/or my blog, while allowing myself to lounge, sleep and eat whenever I want. Basically, it lets me live like a boss — in style. What do you think? Cool, isn’t it? 🙂

Pffft. Of course I don’t own a condo unit, nor a macbook. (Poor me) But the good thing about 3d modeling is that I can imagine. And if I were to design my own work space, I would keep the colors minimal – black, red and white for classiness, and inject my own personal flavors – animal prints (!) and that staple book shelf design. Would I forget to leave somewhere a pair of classic red stilettos? How about a portrait of myself? Umm, no. Hihi.I played around with patterns through the wall panels that double as storage space. You have to agree, cabinets are useful mess concealers. Since condominium units are usually small (too small!), it’s better to hide all the clutter — except, well, for a pretty pair of stilettos. 🙂

That’s basically it. I was actually inspired to do this when I did an interior of a Small-Office-Home-Office (SOHO) at work. Condominiums are booming in the Philippines, no doubt. If you want to buy a unit or two for investment, not necessarily for residential occupancy, you might want to consider converting it to a personal work space or a small office.
