CLIENT
A young, demanding and ambitious couple, to whom style and high quality are not just empty words, but are an initial point in creating the concept.
TASK
We had a goal to create a sophisticate space with multiple zones, as the client’s requirements were complex. We had to elaborate a planning solution introducing some additional rooms and zones, such as: one more bedroom, library, wardrobe, storage, and the most daedal – one more bathroom.
ENTRANCE
In the initial layout there was an 25sq m hall, which we’ve reduced to 10sq m – quite enough for a comfortable hall. The key element in this arrangement is the wardrobe, which is a visual barrier between the front door and the living room. It is made of the same wooden panels, which are found on the walls in other zones, so, this wardrobe is perceived as a constructive element. Monochrome an contrasting color range impresses with elegance and dramatism.
LIVING ROOM
Though the living room is a kind of “meeting point” it is comfortable and elegant. The wooden panels on the walls and furniture bring a classy touch to the apartment. To unify the space visually we’ve used the same panels in the kitchen and dining area. Their graphite and Bordeaux color make the interior dramatic, while the green walls makes it more calm and natural.
LIBRARY
We can’t not mention that the clients have requested a special area for a library, which would fit more than 4m3 of books. So we’ve allocated a retired corner in the open-space, between two bedrooms.
KITCHEN + DININGROOM
This kitchen is a real gastronomic studio as it is equipped with advanced kitchen appliances. As the clients are young and communicative they requested a transformable open-space, ready to host crowded parties. So, we’ve made a movable kitchen island to serve as a bar in the living room and to make more space in the dining area. By the other hand, to avoid strong kitchen smells we’ve installed a transparent sliding door. Classic solid wood facades gracefully interact with decorative panels on the walls. The solution bold color, unusual for such classical forms is meant to impress. The bold coloristic solution, unusual for such classical forms is meant to impress. The green wall, alternated with strips of mirrors creates an optical game, giving this area freshness and space.
The elegant dining room with its comfortable chairs is an alternative to the living room. Surely, the family will spend here not only their meals time.
MASTER BEDROOM
The master bedroom was completed with a wardrobe and a private bathroom. Natural and calm color scheme is supposed to help relaxing physically and mentally. Though, it is refreshed by the vertical garden, which also cleans the air.
