CASE STUDY
This charming apartment in an old tenement house was in need of a complete renovation, presenting an exciting opportunity for transformation.
The primary challenge was to create an additional room along with a cozy bathroom. With a fresh palette of bright colors and classic materials reimagined in a contemporary style, the space has been beautifully revitalized. The addition of a dream bathtub enhances the overall experience, elevating the apartment's quality and comfort. Now, it perfectly blends modern elegance with historical charm, making it a truly inviting home.

PROBLEM
The family enlargement and working from home were the main reasons for changes in the functional layout of the 50 m2 apartment.
Originally, the 50 m² apartment featured two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. To enhance functionality, we identified the need for an additional room to clearly delineate the living, sleeping, and office areas. With remote work becoming increasingly common, it’s essential to create a dedicated workspace that is distinct from relaxation and regeneration zones. This thoughtful layout not only maximizes the apartment’s potential but also fosters a harmonious balance between work and leisure.
We envisioned transforming a spacious 23 m² living room by creating a separate bedroom while relocating the office space to an existing room. Since the bedroom is primarily used at night, natural daylight is not essential. To maintain a sense of openness and to harmonize with the changing light throughout the day, we incorporated glazing into the bedroom design, allowing natural light to gently fill the new space. This innovative layout not only introduces additional walls perfect for displaying art or family photos but also enhances the overall functionality and aesthetic of the apartment.
The apartment was acquired with a bathroom featuring outdated bronze tiles and a shower, lacking adequate storage space. The new design introduces a luxurious bathtub and additional cabinets for essential bathroom accessories, optimizing both functionality and style. Classic, muted colors paired with elegant gold fixtures create a timeless aesthetic that elevates the interior. A large mirror not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes the space feel more expansive and inviting.
