The image given to the bachelor apartments, which connects with a neglected space and an empty refrigerator, has recently become a distant memory.
The treatment of bachelor apartments has received a very serious caress to the ego and has made them more desirable than ever, especially in the eyes of the architects and designers who are supposed to plan and design them.

Anthropologically, the phenomenon can be linked to the social changes that have made us more inclusive and accept different forms of life.
The understanding that single life is a kind of choice and not a transit station, the insight that a single person, just like a married person, leads a rich, pleasant and full life for himself, naturally also changed the attitude towards housing.
The bachelor leads a lifestyle that suits him.
He does not have to consider anyone and he can enjoy the pleasures of life, simply because it comes to him and it does him good.
Today's bachelor is proud of it and he flies on himself, even when it comes to space design.
Usually, due to being alone, the process makes it possible to focus on net design without taking into account children who will soil the sofa or a spouse who wants to be expressed.
This is a fantasy where you can shape according to your will, go wild where it seems right, express your desires without anyone on the side trying to change your mind.
It's just you and your space.
It can be 40 square meters or 100 square meters - it does not really matter, the charm and the feeling of freedom to choose will remain there equally.
