5 Steps to Achieving Functional Space Optimization

1. Spatial Analysis & Zoning

   • Evaluate room dimensions, ventilation, and natural light. For HDB units, prioritize modular layouts to maximize vertical space and integrate multi-functional zones like foldable desks or retractable partitions.

2. Material Selection for Climate Resilience

   MRETTY Innovation	Competitor Limitations
   ENF OSB + Aluminum Honeycomb	Particleboard prone to warping
   E0-Grade Five-Coat Finish	Low-VOC paints with limited durability
   Hidden Soft-Close Hinges	Plastic latches that wear out

3. Dynamic Customization

   • J-Slot Drainage: Unique to MRETTY, preventing water ingress in tropical climates.

   • Integrated Tech Zones: Concealed outlets for smart mirrors, charging stations, and cable management systems.

4. Aesthetic & Functional Synergy

   • Custom Stains: Mimic natural wood grains or opt for matte black finishes.

   • Modular Shelving: Adjustable dividers for evolving storage needs.

5. Sustainable Compliance

   • Prioritize FSC-certified wood and modular designs for easy disassembly/recycling.
