The task

An apartment for two adults to live in permanently. Sometimes their adult son visits — he needs a comfortable bed, but without a separate guest room. Also on the wish list: a workspace that doesn’t look like an office, plenty of storage for personal belongings and materials that can withstand a cat.

Starting point

A new-build apartment: 54 m² per the measured plan schedule, including a 9 m² balcony. Rough plaster, electrical and heating pipework done by the developer. The building has not yet been handed over, so the project is prepared in advance — the renovation will start as soon as works are permitted. We don’t touch load-bearing walls or the building’s shared risers — only small changes: moving the bedroom door and a partition for the shower in the bathroom.

Concept

Modern warm minimalism: simple volumes, closed fronts, calm textures and well-thought-out lighting instead of decor. Walnut-effect panels, travertine-effect porcelain tiles, white textured plaster with a wave pattern and thin black lines — profiles, frames, light fittings.

Functional solutions

The living room sofa unfolds into a proper bed — so the kitchen-living room temporarily becomes the son’s room. The workspace is built into the bedroom next to the dressing table. The kitchen has matt handleless fronts, a built-in fridge, oven and microwave; the dining table continues the kitchen run. The TV wall is made of panels with a wall-hung unit, a bookcase and a decorative fireplace.

Storage

Built-in storage in every zone: a floor-to-ceiling hallway wardrobe with a section for the ironing board, a shoe cabinet and hooks for everyday clothes; a wardrobe with top cabinets and open shelving in the bedroom; tall cabinets in the bathroom. The washing machine has its own niche.

Bathroom

A tray-less walk-in shower with a glass screen, a wall-hung WC with a hygiene shower, a countertop basin and an electric heated wall instead of a towel rail. Underfloor heating below.

Lighting and smart home

Multi-layered warm lighting: track systems in the kitchen, living room and bedroom, perimeter ceiling lighting, kitchen worktop lighting, wall lamps and backlighting behind the bed. Lighting, curtains, climate and leak protection are controlled from a smartphone, but everything also works from ordinary switches — without the internet.

Materials

Large-format travertine-effect porcelain tiles in the hallway, kitchen and bathroom, warm wood-effect flooring in the living room and bedroom, paint and textured plaster on the walls, a matt stretch ceiling with a shadow-gap profile. Upholstery and textiles were chosen in claw-resistant fabrics. Walls shared with neighbours get sound insulation.

Layout

Space Planning

Enlarge +

An apartment with almost no partitions: from the hallway you enter the bathroom and straight into the kitchen-living room with floor-length windows and access to the balcony; the bedroom is separated by a wall with a flush door. The kitchen, dining area and living room are one space, and storage is built into the furniture, so no separate walk-in wardrobe was needed. On the balcony — a table for two and space for a clothes airer.
