Design of a Three-Room Apartment P-44T: Converting a "Two-Room" into a "Three-Room" Apartment

Design of a Three-Room Apartment P-44T: Converting a "Two-Room" into a "Three-Room" Apartment. A two-room apartment is ideal living space for a married couple: the bedroom is separated from the living room area, and there are all the prerequisites to organize a workspace by using the balcony or loggia.

But what to do when instead of looking for a corner for a desk, the couple is looking for where to place a crib? And it's not far from there to a child's room of your own! Buying a three-room apartment wasn't in the plans, and living in the living room isn't either? Then we'll work with what is there. So, we present to your attention the design of a three-room apartment (P-44T), based on converting a "two-room" into a full-fledged home for a family of three.

Client's wishes: Convert a "two-room" into a three-room apartment for a family with a child

Space-saving in this case was based not so much on demolishing walls to expand room area (by the way, all load-bearing structures remained in place), but rather on designer tricks: for example, replacing swinging doors with sliding ones.

Combining the hall and living room, as well as the bathroom and toilet (to free up space for installing a washing machine, the bathroom was replaced with a shower cabin). The useful area of the kitchen was expanded by using wall height for mounting the kitchen unit, and the dining table was replaced with an elegant bar counter.

Typical interior of rooms was enriched with items of naturalistic decor: skins, wood with different textures in the finishing of surfaces, indoor plants, bright colors and more.

The proposed project has a significant drawback: the parents' bedroom, after re-planning, is left without a source of natural light, but such a sacrifice can be made due to the increase in the number of rooms from two to three.
