We sometimes face the task of designing in small areas, with a limited budget and a rational approach to materials. This project was a response to a situation typical for new houses: unsuccessful layouts, poor quality finishing and technical solutions that require reworking.
We chose an adaptive path: to preserve the existing surfaces as much as possible, revealing their original texture and appearance. Concrete walls were left open and covered only with varnish - the architectural material became an expressive part of the interior, and not a technical basis. The lighting system was built without ceiling lights - the ceiling became a clean, monolithic plane. The lighting was thought out to be soft, directional, almost invisible, creating a feeling of calm and warmth.
A rational approach allowed not only to save resources, but also to redirect attention to more significant elements: the structure of the space, light, tactility and transformation. The layout is designed so that the living area occupies the maximum area, and all household items are hidden behind the laconic facades of the cabinets. Mobile furniture and flexible configuration of zones create a sense of freedom.
The interior is designed in a monochrome palette with warm light. In this restrained background, each object acquires weight and meaning. Functionality, aesthetics and architectural thinking merge in a space that speaks more quietly, but more deeply.
