INFO | THE HALLWAY | THE KITCHEN | THE DINING AREA | THE LIVING AREA | THE SLEEPING ZONE | THE BATHROOM | THE GUEST BATHROOM
A spacious one-bedroom apartment of 110 square meters provided us with an opportunity to create a full and functional living space as well as the play of textures, shapes and shades.
The hallway
Once in the hall, you find yourself in the transit zone, from which you can get to the guest bathroom (there is also a utility block behind the sliding doors). There is also a small wardrobe, successfully hidden behind the laconic wardrobe doors, behind one of which there is a passage to the private part of the apartment — the bedroom, the master bathroom and the main wardrobe. The central "exit" from the hall is a glazed arch that leads to the kitchen, dining and living areas.
The kitchen
The kitchen greets us with an unusual island that combines a bar counter and a comfortable cooking area. Its glossy copper cladding — oxidized titanium nitride — is one of the main accents of this and adjacent areas. This solution helped to shade the matte black facades of the kitchen. Following our tradition we have tried to hide all unnecessary elements behind the facades, so that being at the table or on the sofas in the living area, you don't get the feeling of "sitting" in the kitchen.
The living area is lighter than the previous ones and combined with them by the flooring and the texture of the walls. Also here our designers continued to experiment with shapes and textures, so that you see tables on a glass base (as if they had been quickly built from flower vases), unusual sofas and armchairs. By the way, the sofas themselves are located unconventionally: one part is "connected" to one of the tables and armchairs, the second part faces the windows. Instead of a TV, there is a light installation by James Turrell with pleasant lighting for evening meditations. In the same area there is a second entrance to the bedroom.
The dining area
The dining area continues the mood of the kitchen as there is a large black matte table with chairs as a separate installation. Different colours, shapes and textures create a kind of chaos, but this was the original intention. The lighting above the table adds an additional accent.

The bedroom
The bedroom palette coheres with the shades of the living room and even the circular recess in the wall is exactly the same and in the same place. A canopy bed in this design looks laconic and does not shrink the space, but this is not the main thing here!
There is a toilet behind a transparent but matte door, and if you think this is too intimate, don't rush into conclusions... The master bathroom is hidden behind the wall in front of the bed and this is the only demarcation for this area. There is a large oval bathtub and a full shower. The sink is located to the left of the toilet entrance.
On the right side of the bed and the bathroom, there is a passage to the master's wardrobe — spacious closets with transparent darkened glasses. From here you can immediately return to the hall.
The guest bathroom
And finally a guest bathroom. We have already mentioned the household block, so now about other details: for example, a free-standing round sink and a shower with a curtain, the shape of which is slightly repeated by the wall cladding in this area.
