Question

【題目】

What will the home of the future look like? A team of architects in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny, as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive.

They have designed “spaceflats” that are only 30 square metres in size. These flats have small rooms: a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, as well as a balcony（陽臺(tái)）, but everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.

The living room is the main room of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen or even a second bedroom. There is a sofa that can be changed into a bed. The dining table can be changed into a computer desk. And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and the table can be folded away（折疊收攏）. There is a flat-screen TV, which can also serve as a computer monitor. You can’t see the cooker, the microwave and the small refrigerator because they are all hidden out of sight.

The other rooms are small but practical（實(shí)用的）. The bathroom contains a toilet and shower. The double bed in the bedroom can also be a sofa, if necessary. The balcony has enough space for two people to sit and you may see an amazing fountain on it. All the rooms have high ceiling to provide as much storage（存儲(chǔ)）space as possible, while the flat has large windows to let in plenty of sunlight.

“Spaceflats” are now being tested in a building in Hong Kong. “It’s wonderful,” said one citizen, “The flat is so well designed that you feel that there is plenty of space.”
