APARTMENT K.129

The apartment is part of a two-storey brick apartment building built in the 40s of the 20th century. Each floor consists of two large apartments. The apartment is located on the second floor and is oriented to two sides - to the courtyard and to the street. Thanks to its orientation and interior height, it looks airy and bright. The apartment was originally in a bad condition, the non-load-bearing partitions were demolished, the preserved brick walls were damaged, the beamed ceiling was obscured and needed to be treated.

The task from the investor was to create a modern standard of living for a young family, referencing the original materiality with added modern features. In the interior, we eliminated the unnecessary corridors and create an open layout that becomes the central part of the designed apartment. We flow seamlessly from the entrance hall, to the living room, kitchen and dining room. The space is dominated by the original beamed ceiling, which we uncovered and refurbished, and we also add the custom-made circular light fittings, making the interior look airy and generous. Rooms, bathrooms and utility rooms are separated by partitions with concealed entrance doors, accessible from the central part of the apartment. There are no classical doors in the apartment, the individual walls act as a solid surface. In the rooms there is sufficient privacy for each member of the household. The main material elements of the apartment are brick, wood and concrete, complemented by a monochromatic anthracite and white color.
