Let me kindly introduce the project BYTP carried out in the Palisády district of Bratislava. The aim was to transform the apartment into a modern, functional, and aesthetic space while respecting the character of the building and its surroundings.
The approach to color composition and the use of colors can be considered innovative, in fact creating a visually harmonious entity. The living area utilizes primary colors such as yellow, blue and red, in private part colors are transitioning to more subdued tones like burgundy and beige. The open living zone occupies nearly half of the apartment, so there was a need to visually differentiate it into sub-zones based on function using color and furniture elements. The intention was to create a timeless interior that does not succumb to fashion trends and will ensure long-term sustainability. During the realization works we preferred local manufacturers for wooden parquet and upholstered furniture. A significant portion of the furniture is vintage and contribute to sustainability, as these pieces were made decades ago and now they are reused. New furnishing elements were selected with an emphasis on durability and aesthetics, from manufacturers meeting European standards and environmental protection principles.
The investor clearly defined the goal: to maximize the potential of the apartment and improve light comfort without extensive structural changes of the layout. The main priority was to ensure a sufficient variety of storage spaces. A specific constraint was the requirement to retain the nearly new kitchen counter from the previous owners. By modifying it, we functionally and visually integrated it into the new concept. This challenge was accepted with a focus on resource-saving and sustainability, as the kitchen counter would otherwise end up in a junkyard.
A unique element of the interior is an oversized painting in the hallway by a Slovak artist, which immediately upon entry creates the impression of an eclectic urban apartment. It transforms the hallway from a mere communication space into a representative zone. The BYTP project is a synthesis of creativity and functionality leading to a space that is not only aesthetically attractive but also practical and sustainable.
