Summary
The designers at Planka studio designed this apartment for a married couple whose mother lives with them. It was important for the clients to create a space that was as comfortable and functional as possible—convenient for living and hosting guests, with a separate office for privacy. Special attention was paid to arranging items that reflect the owners’ hobbies, such as a pull-up bar, bench presses, a rowing machine, a sewing table, and a cabinet for sewing supplies.

Details
One of the key requirements was accommodating the different daily schedules of family members, which necessitated the use of blackout curtains and well-planned lighting. The clients also wanted mirrors in the interior (except in the master bedroom) and an electric fireplace, while firmly excluding unnecessary dust collectors, blinds, and French curtains.
Room layout plan. The interior design shows a well-thought-out arrangement of zones and the ergonomics of the space.
Convenience and functionality, aesthetics and alignment with personal preferences, space and a sense of openness were identified as priorities, along with creating a comfortable and serene atmosphere.

The choice of materials for finishing was driven by the client’s desire to use natural materials. The floor coverings are engineered wood, while the wall coverings are paint and decorative plaster. Veneered MDF panels were created based on custom designs; mirror and acrylic surfaces with carving techniques were also used.

The kitchen was custom-made to meet the client’s specific needs. The upper mirror-fronted cabinets visually reduce the space’s volume, reflect light, and add a sense of lightness to the kitchen. Meanwhile, the lower sections remain functional and spacious, with all ergonomics designed for everyday use scenarios.

The custom-designed dining table serves as the focal point of the dining area: its texture and shape set the tone for the entire space and invite long meals. Paired with mirrored facades, it creates a striking contrast—warm natural materials against a cool reflective surface—making the kitchen-dining area appear as a unified, thoughtfully crafted whole.

The office is designed in a deep dark shade: the furniture seems to blend into the wall color, creating a cozy, focused atmosphere. A striking accent is the brown leather sofa, which adds warmth and liveliness to the interior without disrupting the overall restraint. In the same room, there is a gym equipped with the necessary facilities for the owner — thus, functional areas are combined into a single space where work and exercise naturally alternate.
