The apartment was designed for one person – a woman who wanted to completely redesign her apartment from the secondary market. The client was most concerned with functional solutions and opening/releasing the space. The design process, as standard, began with gathering inspiration, where modern interiors came through very strongly, so it was clear that we would move in this style. The apartment didn’t have to be bright, we could use darker colors and wooden accents – the important thing was that it should be in a modern but cozy way.
After the inspiration stage and the examination of needs, we moved on to the stage of functional layouts. Originally, the apartment consisted of 3 rooms, a kitchen, a hallway, a toilet, a pantry and a bathroom, but in the course of the design work we decided that 3 separate rooms were not needed. In the end, we decided to additionally demolish the wall dividing these rooms with the hallway, so we could let in a lot of natural light from the very entrance to the apartment and create a sense of space without losing functionality.
The kitchen is a combination of modernity and functionality. It offers a lot of storage space and a large quartz sintered worktop transitioning into an island, which on the living room side also serves as a countertop at which you can sit. In the living room, the main role is played by a large RTV wall with decorative plasterboard and backlighting. The modern character is emphasized by accessories and furniture in rust color (hockers and sofa) and this is basically the only color theme appearing in the interior. Everything in a consistent color scheme that matches the whole apartment.
In the bedroom, we used a repeat of the textured plaster motif, ending at half the bed. The entire wall to the left of the entrance was transformed into a built-in wardrobe, providing ample storage for all your essentials and clothing. A loft-style sliding glass door separates the bedroom from the hallway to further open up the space and bring in light from the hallway, which previously had no window access. The office is the final room, which can also double as a guest room thanks to the addition of a sofa bed.
