About Yard Apartment Residential
Yard Apartment is a short-rent residential interior in Shanghai with an interior area of 25 square meters. The design connects the indoor rooms with a courtyard, which serves as an outdoor living room in good weather. A bar links the inside and the outside. The sunken living room creates changes in height, and a mezzanine holds the bedroom. Wood veneer and wood furniture give the small home a warm character, while the bathroom is finished in dark cement paint. Custom furniture allows several functions to overlap in a very limited area.
