From the first design sketches we tried to get distance from the interventions that have become „standard procedures” in the local scene of designing within old buildings. The owner, a jazz passionate, wished for an elegant and flexible apartment of high standard, with vast multifunctional areas within the living space. The design we settled upon was an intervention where the white color is dominant and plays the role of a clean background on which the main theme of the apartment is evolving – the furniture, which is treated as a unitary contemporary insertion.
