The result was a very comfortable and well-organized space with a circular movement pattern, easy transitions between areas, a separate study for the owner who works from home, a large wardrobe for seasonal items, a laundry room with a dog wash, and spacious children’ s rooms.
The result is an interior with character— a European eclecticism, where classical proportions coexist with modern forms, and rich colors and noble materials create an atmosphere of intelligent luxury and home comfort.
The entire apartment is divided into two zones:
Private: where there are three bedrooms, a women’ s and a men’ s bathroom for the owners, and a large wardrobe for seasonal items.
Shared: where there is a living room, a kitchen, an office, a laundry room, and a guest bathroom.
These two zones are connected by a circular movement, with the help of halls and passageways of the living room and kitchen. It turned out very convenient.
The dominant and decoration of the apartment are the black portals in the living room. Their shape was taken from the architecture of the windows of one 19th century apartment building by the Designer.
Furniture and decor items were selected to the already existing furniture from the customers. This was not easy, because all the furniture was completely different in style, this is modern Italian furniture and Ikea showcases- everything had to be skillfully connected, which the designer did with the help of color. For example, the color of the sofa in the living room was supported in
the Missoni wallpaper in the TV area, and continued this color in the hall and study, making it a little more saturated. Simple white Ikea showcases were integrated into an emerald kitchen set, adding luxury with marble and brass. The project is unique due to the art- paintings, lithographs and a little vintage- pink suspensions above the island, chairs in the kitchen.
