Equipments
Kitchen on 1F
We had a custom stainless steel kitchen made. It is designed so that up to four people can cook simultaneously around it. Separately, there is another cooking station with two 3‑burner induction cooktops positioned on both sides. Additionally, to maximize space efficiency—though not shown on the floor plan—we have optimized locations for a dish‑drying rack and recyclable waste collection bags.
Laundry on 1F
We have two drum-style washing machines (no built-in dryers) and two gas-powered dryers. These machines can comfortably accommodate up to four users simultaneously. To minimize wait times, the drying process uses gas dryers—not electric—since gas units heat up faster and dry clothes more efficiently. All machines are free to use.
Bathroom on 1F and Showers on 2F & 3F
There is a bathroom on the first floor, and shower rooms on the second and third floor. One on the second floor is only for woman.
Toilets on all floors
One on the second floor is only for woman.
Smart home technology
Additionally, you can check the availability of all showers, toilets, and laundry machines on your smartphone, so you don’t need to physically go and see if they are free.
