The design was influenced by the apartment owner’s desire to observe the daily life of the native street from the large windows of the new residence.
Instead of conventional rooms, the layout is flexible. Functions blend into each other and change based on life scenarios. The configuration of the room is altered by curtains that follow the entire contour and change the shape and function of the walls and rooms.
The aim of the design is to create a kind of shell that fills with the dynamics of life.
The number of everyday elements is reduced to a minimum, and some details are emphasized.
To escape the neutral, cold aesthetic characteristic of modernism, a restrained yet ethnically traditional color palette is used. This tradition is well-preserved in the depths of church fresco painting.
Despite the surfaces appearing monochromatic at first glance, they actually contain diverse undertones and textures, adding depth and a tactile experience to them.
The apartment is four-roomed, with an area of 157 m². It includes three main spaces: a common area and bedrooms. These three expanded zones fulfill various functions. The partitioning of space is based on the study of movement trajectories in the apartment, which led to the creation of the concept of soft scenarios.
The movement trajectories in the apartment allowed for modeling different room usages at different times. Half of the apartment’s walls are covered with curtain fabric, whose sections can be opened and closed, changing the character and function of the room. In some cases, the curtain covers the kitchen, parts of the corridor, or screens located behind it.
Special importance was given to the sculptural character of the selected furniture in the design creation. Given that there are very few items presented in the interior, each piece of furniture is chosen based on distinctive silhouettes.
