A young family of three (+ two cats and a dog), wanted their apartment design to reflect their personalities and inspirations, and embody a clean and monochromatic aesthetic. The color and material palette consists of black and white, blackened and stainless steel and natural oak wood; Creating a contrast between rough and smooth, raw and polished. This fine balance reflects the clients’ wish to attain a distinctly urban feel, alongside a soft and intimate atmosphere.
Architectural interventions in the common area, connected and widened the shared living spaces and opened them to the broad view. The kitchen, dining area, and living room are defined by steel and joinery elements that create together a coherent composition, while each area holds different and distinct attributes.
The couple, a scriptwriter and a novelist, write mostly from home. Therefore the desk was positioned as an essential part of the living room, along with a quiet home office concealed behind the kitchen. The bedrooms’ design aligns with a commitment to a minimalist palette, in accordance with the common areas, omitting the black surfaces and allowing mainly wood and soft grey hues define the various elements. Particular and specifically designed and crafted details, echo and appear in different scales and variations, creating a continuous and articulate composition.
