Type 1F: 1-Bedroom 1-Bathroom 41.50 Sq.m.

The unit consists of one bedroom, one bathroom, one living room connected to a balcony and one kitchen which the first zone of the room. The kitchen is outfitted with built-in counters: wooden-paneled cabinets, sink, hob, and hood. A small dining area can be set aside the kitchen – suitable for two persons. Next from the kitchen, you will find a broad living room where space at the back can be occupied as a study area; on the side, a sliding door leads to the balcony. Bedroom and bathroom are located in secluded positions, the areas which will be elaborated later. 

The bathroom has two accesses: one from the bedroom, and the other from the living room

The bedroom takes space as much as the living room, where a king–sized bed well fits in. On one side, a full–height window splashes natural light into the room – curtains and drapes are necessary, while the other end is a walkway to the bathroom where a walk–in closet occupies the in–between space

The bathroom features an Automatic Toilet from Cotto, a minimalism–designed basin with underneath storage, and a shower room encased with partitions at the furthest corner

The shower room has a modest space. A floor drain is neatly mounted into the floor, and there are both handheld shower and rain shower  

Type 2I: 2-Bedroom 2-Bathroom 67.00 Sq.m. 

This unit type welcomes you with a terrace–like foyer, a multifunctional space elements like bikes and shoes cabinet suit in

A few steps from the terrace, you will find a spacious dining area and living room where a 6–seater table fits and leaves a comfortable walking space around. The living area is sided with a full–height window which helps airing the space during the day

The living areas easily accommodates a wide range of furniture and, still, leaves a decent space for walking around. The space isn’t strictly needed to be a living area. It could be an intimate dining corner as some families love to watch TV while eating, or a study–focused area with additions of a few desks. Let your creativity runs on the design.  

An enclosed kitchen (with partitions) is on the left of the dining area. The space is quite modest but ample for two people to stand cooking side by side. Everything is provided except appliances: washing machine microwave, etc. 

The common bathroom is next from the kitchen and comprises all equipment: basin with underneath storage, partitions-encased shower room with handheld shower and rain shower, and Automatic toilet from Cotto

Opposite of the bathroom is the small bedroom where it is decked out as a private office in this show unit. The room’s space is suitable for a single bed with additions of a wardrobe and a set of desk and chair. Forcing a queen-sized bed into this room would create an uncomfortable sense of confine

The master bedroom has an L-Shaped layout and a master bathroom inside

The master bathroom comes with an addition of a bathtub, located in the innermost space next from the shower room. The rest features follow taka HAUS Ekkamai 12’s standard: basin with storage, Automatic toilet, handheld shower and rain shower, etc.

Though a king-sized bed is practical for the master bedroom, a queen-sized one would leave more space around and, hence, an airier room. A wardrobe and a dressing table occupy the space on the side. The decorations over the headboard are the show unit’s props only
