Classic Single A or B? It depends how you use the table

The two singles are priced closely and fitted identically. The difference is the plan. Here's how to decide in three minutes.

The two single layouts at CityHome (cityhome.hk), Type A and Type B, come with exactly the same things: a private bathroom, washing machine, fridge, air conditioning, desk and wardrobe.

There’s only one difference — how the room is divided.

Type A: a sitting corner as well

Type A has a sofa and a small round table, with the bed and desk each holding their own corner.

That means the room gives you two places to be: the desk for working, the sofa and table for everything else. Eating, watching something, a friend dropping by — none of it has to happen on the bed or at the desk.

Suits you if:

  • You spend a lot of time at home and need to change seats to change mode
  • You take video calls and would rather the background wasn’t your bed
  • People come round occasionally and need somewhere to sit

Type B: one clean line

Type B has no sofa area. Rest, work and storage run along a single axis, leaving the middle of the room open.

That means more unbroken floor and a longer sightline. The mirror and wardrobe sit flush along the wall, so nothing juts out and chops up the space.

Suits you if:

  • Your life happens outside and the room is for sleeping and studying
  • You have a lot of belongings and want wall space to line them up
  • You like the feeling of open floor more than extra furniture

A quick way to decide

Ask yourself one question: are you going to eat in the room?

If yes, take Type A. The round table exists for exactly that, so you’re not pushing a keyboard aside at the desk.

If no, take Type B and trade that furniture for room to move.

Still not sure

See both.

They’re in the same building, so one viewing covers both, and five minutes standing inside tells you more than any description. Most people know which one they want by the time they walk into the second.

See photos of both layouts, or book a viewing and note that you’d like to see A and B together.
