Happiness Is Having Extra: The Psychology of Bonus Space

There’s a quiet shift that happens when you have extra.

Not excess.
Not wasted space.
Just… extra.

Extra room to breathe.
Extra separation between work and rest.
Extra storage so surfaces stay clear.

The Danish word “Lykke” means happiness. But in modern urban living, happiness is rarely about grand gestures.

It’s about functional relief.

The Stress of Just-Enough Living

Many city homes are designed to fit — not to flex.

The dining table becomes the desk.
The sofa becomes the guest bed.
The bedroom becomes storage overflow.

When every area must multitask, tension builds.

Not dramatically.
Quietly.

Cluttered environments increase mental fatigue.
Overlapping functions blur personal boundaries.
And “just enough” starts to feel like not enough.

The Power of Vertical Separation

At Lykke Kondo, developed by PH1 World Developers and built by Megawide Construction, Add-Loft Technology transforms engineered ceiling height into usable bonus space — at no extra cost.

That single structural decision changes how a home feels.

Studio:
23.56 sqm base + 9.37 sqm loft

1 Bedroom:
38.19 sqm base + 14.20 sqm loft

2 Bedroom:
60.94 sqm base + 21.51 sqm loft

It’s not about impressing guests with size.

It’s about:

• A workspace that doesn’t invade your bedroom
• Storage that doesn’t dominate your living area
• A reading nook that feels intentional
• A child’s play zone that doesn’t take over the floor

Vertical design creates boundaries without expanding your footprint.

Location Enhances the Feeling of Extra

Located along Marcos Highway in Pasig, and just 120 meters from Ayala Malls Feliz, Lykke Kondo reduces the need to overcompensate at home.

You don’t need to stockpile groceries for weeks.
You don’t need excessive storage for rarely used items.
Access replaces accumulation.

And when your home isn’t overloaded, your mind isn’t either.

In 2026, happiness isn’t about having the biggest property.

It’s about having room for what matters — and no competition between your roles.

Extra doesn’t mean more clutter.
Extra means more clarity.

If your home had one more functional zone, what would you create?
