Client’s goals and wishes

An apartment for a family with children. 51 m² had to hold a kitchen-living room where the whole family gathers, a separate parents’ bedroom and a proper children’s room — with a workspace, a place to relax and lots of storage. The interior is modern and light, with warm accents.

Starting point

A new build by the developer PIK in “white frame” condition: plastered walls, screed done, heating and air-conditioning pipework already in place. Ceiling height 2.7 m. Two separate rooms, a kitchen-living room of about 19 m², a hallway and two bathrooms.

Design solution

The larger room is given to the children: a workspace in a niche between wardrobes, a bookcase, a sofa and a corner window seat. The parents’ bedroom has a bed, a wardrobe with tinted glass fronts and a dressing table by the window. The kitchen is a full-wall run with built-in appliances; the living room has a corner sofa, a dining table for four and a mirror with black glazing bars that visually widens the space. The bathroom partitions were rebuilt: the bathroom grew from 5.1 to 5.8 m² and holds a bath, a vanity with a basin and a tall cabinet.

Materials

Light large-format porcelain tiles in the kitchen-living room, hallway and bathrooms, light-oak-effect flooring in the rooms, a concrete-effect wall in the living room, a graphic pattern on the children’s room wall. Furniture — matt light grey fronts and light oak veneer, tinted glass in black frames, black handles and taps. Accents — terracotta and deep blue textiles.

Outcome

Design Project with Selection — 42 sheets: measured and construction plans, layout, electrical, lighting, plumbing, underfloor heating, air conditioning and ventilation plans, wall elevations of all rooms, a finishes schedule, specifications of furniture, equipment and lighting, visualisations and sketch drawings of custom furniture.
