We realized a small apartment for rent in a new residential building Nová Vajnorská. Living on roughly 30m2 defined us an economical layout and unification of functions. The narrow floor plan and the only light through the facade naturally directed us to the open space. The balloon helps to optically increase the square footage of the apartment and forms a noise barrier against the busy Vajnorská street.
We allocated the necessary minimum to the entrance hall and bathroom and integrated storage spaces. The central task was the bedroom, instead of the living room with a sofa bed. We inserted a sleeping box, which has curtains instead of a wall. By its simple manipulation, a person determines the extent of privacy himself, the bedroom space is defined by a slatted screen, which underlines the changeable character. In the original, a kitchen was considered here. We moved it to the perimeter of the wall by minimizing it into a single piece of furniture. At its end, an offset circular dining table creates a sufficiently variable dining area. The motif of slats is also repeated here, which together form the identity of the apartment. During the design, we focused on the topic of acoustic well-being, which is reflected in the choice of slats, curtains and lamps made to measure from acoustic material.
We enliven the neutral color base in shades of sand gray with the play of stone fractions in terrazzo paving and tiling. We let the solitaires of the deep-blue kitchen, the dark orange cabinet in the bathroom, or the salmon seating light up. The crown of the mini-apartment is the exposed concrete ceiling of a solid filigree structure.
