Condos near BTS similar to Urbano Absolute:

[Beachvbguy1]

So, this is a pretty specific question.  I currently live in Urbano Absolute condo in Sathorn.   I’m interested In possibly relocating somewhere on the Sukhumvit BTS line, hopefully either toward upper Suk (Thonglor/Phrakanon) or near the Victory Monument/Phayathai area.

 

However, one of the main things that draws me to Urbano is some interior design characteristics that are, thus far, unique to my experience.  And, I’ve looked at many dozens of properties, while I’m clearly not speaking from comprehensive knowledge, neither am I speaking from complete ignorance.

 

Specifically, most condos in the 35-45 sqm 1 br configurations lack three elements of the Urbano design that I really love.   I’m including a Hipflat link that shows them.

1.      The amount of built in storage, especially in the living room space.  There are upper and lower storage cabinets and a shelf that provide a lot of space for storing various electronic/extra appliances, office supplies, etc.  In contrast, most small 1 br. Living rooms have a small sofa, a small coffee table and a flat wall with a large picture of New York and a big flat screen… nothing more.  This makes the space virtually useless for someone like me, who is either at their desk on the computer, or lying in bed watching TV, or in the kitchen preparing food.

 

2.      The bedroom layout has a small dresser next to the bed, and a small hallway with two full sized closets leading to the bathroom.  In contrast, most of the smaller 1 br layouts have either a small closet competing for space in the br, with usually no dresser/drawers, and the bathroom directly connected to the br.   Considering the odors and moisture that are always associated with bathrooms, having the 2-3 meters separating the bathroom from the actual bed is really welcome.

 

3.      Finally, there are two built in table spaces. One of them creates a “U” design in the kitchen, providing welcome eating/counter space.  The other is a small desk/table right next to the window.

 

I’ve looked at many other properties, and lived in probably 9 or 10 others, in Nana, Phra Khanong, Victory Monument, and here in Sathorn.  I’ve found none that are even close to as well thought out as this one.

 

Does anyone know of a comparable design in the sub – 45 sqm sub -25K baht category of rentals here in BKK?

 

Any help is appreciated.
