How Did They Turn a Studio into a Two-Room Apartment?

When redesigning this apartment, designer Anna Modzharo offered the client five layout options. Only by attaching the balcony did they manage to fit everything needed on 43 square meters. Now it's not only a place for rest, but also for hosting guests. Take a look at how they achieved this.

Removed the wall between the kitchen and living room

Since the client valued having a dedicated bedroom space more than anything else, the kitchen and living room were merged. This added more light and air to the space. It also visually expanded the small hallway.

Attached the balcony to the kitchen

Once the balcony attachment was approved, everything fell into place. Where the balcony used to be, there is now a small dining area with a dining table that seats 5–6 people.

Made an isolated bedroom

This was the main requirement from the client. The small bedroom has a window (and therefore natural light), a full-size bed, and a wardrobe along the entire wall for clothes storage. A perfect alternative to a walk-in closet.

What was the result?
