Sibu Condo: Space Planning for Multi-Use Living
Design & Specification
The Challenge
A common small-condo brief (around 900 sqft) that has to work as home office, guest bedroom and storage at once — where the existing layout feels cramped and the owner is unsure about layout and cabinet sizing.
The Approach
On a brief like this, an ELS Pre-Check typically flags a 'mid-range, 1–3 months' profile and points to Design & Specification: wall-mounted storage, pocket doors for flexibility, multi-purpose built-ins, and a detailed cabinet schedule with exact dimensions and material grades.
Proposed resolution
Designed so a 900 sqft condo works as home office, guest room and storage at once — wall-mounted and multi-purpose built-ins free up the floor, and a detailed cabinet schedule (exact sizes, material grades) can let contractors quote the same scope and build with less guesswork.
Key Lessons
- →A Pre-Check up front means fewer design revisions once drawings begin
- →Clear cabinet schedules help reduce contractor confusion
- →Multi-use spaces need flexible storage — fixed solutions fail
- →Detailed specs attract competitive, comparable quotations
