As they struggle to afford decent housing, young professionals from London to Hong Kong areincreasingly opting for micro-apartments that range from ill-fitting conversions to slicklydesigned buildings with shared facilities such as gyms and lounges.
从伦敦到香港,年轻的专业人士在很难负担体面的住房之际,越来越多地选择微型公寓单位,此类住宅既有不怎么宜居的旧楼改造,也有设计新潮、配备健身房和休息室等共用设施的新建公寓楼。
“Prices are rising all the time and apartments are getting smaller by the day, says RachelCheung, a former public relations officer who launched Hong Kong’s first suitcase rentalbusiness in October. “A suitcase takes up a huge amount of space at home but doesn’t getused that often. Her company, Rent-a-Suitcase, leases upmarket Rimowa suitcases fromHK$68 a day and she has served 300 customers so far as she looks for investors to helpexpand her business.
“楼价不断上涨,公寓单位一天比一天小,前公关人员、去年10月推出香港第一家行李箱租赁公司的RachelCheung表示。“行李箱在家里占用大量空间,但用得并不是太频繁。她的公司“租游列国(Rent-a-Suitcase)出租高档的Rimowa行李箱,每天收费68港元,迄今她已向300位客户提供服务。目前她在寻觅投资者以求扩大业务。
Norman Cheung, a former investment banker, has got much further with his micro-storagestart-up, which has raised $8.1m since January from some of Asia’s best-known investors,including the founders of Ting Hsin group, the world’s biggest maker of instant noodles.
