Yongfu 36 is tucked away in a long and narrow alley at French Concession area in Shanghai. The compact 35-square-meter space has been transformed into a cozy one-bedroom apartment home through a thoughtful renovation.

The open kitchen merges with the living area, while the "bedroom" gains a sense of privacy and security through soft fabric curtains and wooden storage cabinets. Pops of bright colors infuse the space with vibrancy and warmth. The formerly overgrown front landscape was redesigned and revitalized from an urban micro-renewal perspective.
