A well-designed apartment is not measured only in square metres of living room. It is also measured by what you do with the things you don’t need every day but don’t want to throw away: winter tyres, bicycles, the stroller, Christmas decorations, suitcases. This is where the storage box comes in.
At VIVACITY Residence Pipera, every apartment comes with a storage box, included free in the price of the apartment. And most of the boxes are at least 4 sqm, which is enough space to stop sharing the balcony, the walk-in wardrobe or the hallway with objects that don’t belong there. The space you gain in the apartment can be filled with what matters: more time for yourselves.
1Seasonal tyres, without taking up your boot
Changing tyres twice a year always leaves the same question: where do we keep the set that isn’t fitted? In a 4 sqm box, a full set of four tyres fits easily on a shelf or a rack, without filling the garage, the balcony or the boot. And because the box is close to the parking space, the route between the car and the tyres stays short.
And if you need a tyre change, a tyre shop or a car service, you will find several options right in the area. We have gathered them in our guide: car services, tyre shops and showrooms near VIVACITY Residence Pipera.
2Bicycles, scooters and sports equipment
Bicycles are large objects, dirty after an outing in the park and awkward in an apartment. In the box they can be hung on the wall, vertically, so the floor stays free. The same place takes the helmets, the pump, the roller skates, the scooters, the balls and the sports bags, that is, everything that piles up in an active family.
And when a beautiful day comes, the trip to the park no longer starts with searching, but with the bicycles taken out in a few minutes, from right next to the lift.
3The child’s stroller and its accessories
When the child grows, the stroller is no longer used daily, but it would be a pity to give it away. It can stay in the box, folded, next to the car seat, the play mat or the children’s clothes that will still be worn by a younger brother or sister.
Positioning matters a lot here: with a box next to the lift, you don’t carry the stroller up the stairs and you don’t cross half of the basement to take it out at the weekend.
4An extra pantry for bulk supplies
Do you buy more advantageously in large quantities? The box becomes a reserve pantry for products that don’t spoil easily: canned goods, jars of pickles and preserves, pasta, rice, bottled water and drinks, toilet paper, detergents. On labelled shelves, you find what you need at a glance, and the kitchen stays free.
5Christmas and seasonal decorations
The artificial tree, the baubles, the garlands, the lights and the wrapping paper are the classic example of things you use one month a year and keep in the house for eleven. In the box, they wait in transparent, labelled boxes.
And decorating can become a small family tradition: the boxes come out of the storage box, the children choose the baubles, someone puts on music, and the tree is decorated with laughter, not after a search through cupboards.
The space you gain in the apartment is the space you fill with life: play, guests, time together.
6Suitcases and travel luggage
Between two holidays, suitcases sit idle. The large ones can be nested inside each other or lined up on a high shelf of the box, next to backpacks, travel bags and travel accessories. When departure comes, you take them straight from the box, with the lift close by, and the excitement of preparing begins without the stress of looking for your luggage.
7Winter equipment: skis, ski boots, sled
Skis, ski boots, the sled and thick mountain clothes take up a lot of room and are used a few days a year. In the box they can be hung on a panel or placed on shelves, dry and ready to go, and when the first snow falls, the sled gets into the car in a few minutes.
8A small workshop: tools, gardening, DIY
The toolkit, the drill, the ladder, the paint left over from renovation, the flower pots and the gardening tools are not living room objects. A pegboard on one wall of the box and a few shelves are enough for a tidy DIY corner, where every tool has its place.
9Rarely used things you still want to keep
Seasonal clothes, memory boxes, toys that the children will still use or small furniture waiting for a new corner of the house: all of them need a place of their own. The box is exactly this place. It stays within reach, but it doesn’t clutter the space you live in every day.
Why it matters where the box is, not just how big it is
Every use on the list above involves carrying things from the car to the box or the other way around. At VIVACITY Residence Pipera, the boxes were deliberately placed close to the lift, the staircase and the parking space. The goal is simple: to be able to carry your things straight from the boot into the box, with no detours and no carrying over long distances.
The difference is felt most with heavy or bulky items: a stroller, ski equipment, moving boxes, bags of supplies. Many residential projects put storage spaces wherever room is left. Here, the question was different: how does a resident actually get from the car to the box, with full hands? The answer decided the position of the boxes.
