A Shanghai-based design studio has transformed a cramped 60sqm apartment in Shanghai’s suburbs into a spacious and functional home for a family of seven, including four quadruplets. This project is a testament to the power of design to transform a challenging space into a comfortable and welcoming home. The designers cleverly used space-saving techniques and clever furniture arrangements to create a sense of openness and flow, allowing for the family to have the space and privacy they need. 
The design incorporates a variety of features, including a unique “air runway” that connects the different spaces, a compact kitchen and bathroom that maximizes functionality, and flexible sleeping arrangements that allow for each child to have their own space. The result is a home that is not only functional but also beautiful and inspiring. 
The designers created a space that feels both cozy and spacious. They accomplished this by using a light and airy color palette, incorporating natural materials, and maximizing the use of natural light. The design also reflects the family’s values and lifestyle, creating a space that is both practical and heartwarming.
This project is a great example of how good design can improve the quality of life for a family. By thoughtfully considering the needs of the family and using innovative solutions, Atelier L was able to create a home that is both functional and beautiful.
