Originally, the apartment had two bedrooms and a combined kitchen-living room space, so the layout required significant redesign. A proper wardrobe was created at the entrance, taking the place of the former bathroom. The central part of the apartment is occupied by a living room-dining area combined with a kitchen nook equipped with all necessary appliances and storage areas.

The private wing consists of three rooms: the owners’ bedroom with its own wardrobe, the teenage daughter’s room, and an office that can serve as the older son’s bedroom if needed. A convenient wing has also been created with a separate guest bathroom and a fully equipped bathroom, along with a laundry area.

The kitchen-living area features painted walls and ceilings, along with a combination of Spanish tile and quartz vinyl on the floor: thanks to a special flooring layout, these materials are seamlessly integrated, creating the impression of a more expensive and sophisticated finish. The kitchen area is completed with a backsplash made of tile and a quartz stone countertop. The same material is used in the headboard of the bed in the bedroom, establishing a visual connection between the spaces and unifying the interior into a cohesive whole.

In the children’s room, paint is also the primary finishing material, while in the bathrooms, a mix of Spanish tile with bold patterns and decorative plaster adds expressiveness and character to the spaces.

The color palette is based on shades of sky, green, and natural light: the goal was to create an interior that helps one recharge, slow down, and gain energy. The kitchen-living area uses a combination of white, blue, and grassy green colors that evoke a sense of freshness and openness. The bedroom features deep greens and blues, offering a cozy space for relaxation and recovery.

The daughter’s room has become more contrasting thanks to the vivid green color and warm terracotta accents. The study is designed in a more soothing modern palette using gray and graphite shades, while still maintaining a connection to the overall interior concept.

One of the project’s features was the combination of custom and mass-produced solutions. All built-in furniture was crafted on order, specifically tailored to the needs of the particular space: beds, storage systems, and most of the built-in furniture were made based on individual designs. At the same time, some items were selected from ready-made options. This approach allowed for a smart allocation of the budget—investing in elements that the family uses daily while avoiding unnecessary expenses where it did not affect the quality of life or the overall appearance of the interior.

The main challenge of the project was the extremely high functional density required for the space: within 73 square meters, it was necessary to accommodate a large number of rooms and usage scenarios without creating a feeling of crowding. It took about one and a half years from the start of design to the final completion. Despite the difficulties during the construction phase, thanks to continuous oversight by the designer, all key design decisions were preserved, and the interior was realized exactly as intended.
