Client’s goals and wishes

A project for a young man with an active lifestyle. He needed a modern apartment that is convenient for entertaining, working and relaxing. Key requirements: a separate sleeping area, a bar counter for cocktails and meeting friends, and a proper workspace.

Starting point

A standard one-bedroom apartment with an inefficient use of space and only two windows: in the original layout one was in the kitchen and the other in the room. Yet the apartment is not small — 60 m². We made the most of it and turned the one-bedroom flat into a proper two-room apartment with well-thought-out zoning: a separate bedroom and a separate study.

Design solution

The main device is zoning with a glass partition: the bedroom is separated, while the sense of space and natural light are preserved. The kitchen is designed as a niche with built-in appliances, and a study is set up on the loggia. Sliding pocket doors between the hallway and living room allow the space to be used flexibly.

Materials

Matt fronts in sage and dusty blue, warm walnut veneer, a black stone worktop and splashback, marble-effect porcelain tiles in the hallway and kitchen, aged-metal-effect tiles in the bathroom, and black profiles on the partitions and hardware.

Outcome

The client carried out the project himself, without KStudio’s involvement, and sent us photos of the progress — they are collected in the “Work in progress” tab. This is the best proof of how detailed and clear our design project is: even a team without professional supervision can carry out a renovation from it.

The one-bedroom apartment became a proper two-room one: a sliding glass partition separated the bedroom by the window, the kitchen-dining area was joined to the living room, and a study was set up on the loggia. A pocket-door wall separates the hallway with a full-wall wardrobe.
