According to a new research in China, the number of young bachelors is drastically raising because of the skyrocketing housing price. Typically girls are unwilling to marry boys without a property. As a result, young graduates spend most of their time working hard but remain single until they can afford a property. In order to cater for this trend, developers start launching smaller housing units to the market. Our project aims at exploring different dimensions of how these bachelor housing units can be designed other than just being smaller.
