How Did We Improve the Complex Layout of a Studio Apartment?

Recently, we told how designers from "Malitsky Studio" decorated a cozy studio in St. Petersburg. The task was complicated by the complex geometry of the space, so we decided to go into more detail about the reconfiguration. We explain how it was done.

We created an opening from the kitchen to the bedroom

This combined the spaces, making the rooms appear wider. The kitchen cabinet was moved to another wall so that a small living room could also be arranged by the window.

We designed several zones in the bedroom

In the corner next to the bed, we fitted a small workspace for one person. Opposite it, we created a relaxation zone where you can read in a cozy chair. There was also room for a large wardrobe with clothes.

We corrected the complex geometry of the bathroom

We softened the hexagonal shape of the space using a custom-built storage system. The washing machine was also hidden inside it — now it almost blends into the white doors.

We created an open passage in the hallway

It no longer feels dark and enclosed. Natural light from the kitchen-living room now enters the space.

What was the result?
