An apartment from the 30s of the last century in the heart of the capital is now home to a young family. The owner Mihail has the emotional connection with the apartment, which has undergone 3 radical transformations over the years. For his latest transformation, he trusted ATG design.
Before it acquired this modern look, the place was an office for the family business. At that time, part of the walls were demolished and a completely open space was created, leaving only one room separated. Arch. Iveta Popova decided to keep the concept to some extent and formed a large room that merged the living room, dining room and kitchen, but at the same time, at Mihail’s request, new walls were also raised. Thus, a bedroom with a private bathroom, a children’s room with a second bathroom, a study and a small functional vestibule are built.
The main line represented in the architecture and interior of the home is functionality and stylish finish. Owners are very keen on white and gray for primary colors, which contributes to a fresh and spacious atmosphere. Accent tones are in the range of blue-green, and in the children’s room it switches to gray-green. The presence of natural materials such as wood and wool create a feeling of coziness, and textile wallpaper contributes to the warm radiance of the home.
Ceilings up to 3.20 m high allow the floor to be raised and insulated during construction. Thus, when choosing granite tiles for flooring, the apartment still remains warm. Really impressive is the scale of the marble slabs, and one of them can be seen as a decorative accent on the wall opposite the sofa. In combination with monochrome graphics, an art group is formed, which replaces the TV in the everyday corner. Characteristic handwriting for arch. Iveta Popova is this design game of bringing unobtrusive but remarkable elements into the interior.
The modular cabinet along the entire wall, in addition to storage, is conveniently adapted with a soft seat. In combination with the mini library, built into the vertical module above the fireplace, there is a pleasant corner for privacy or an additional place for a larger company around the wooden table. It also deserves attention, as it is handmade from solid timber. Individual cubes create different configurations according to the occasion, and the niches inside them can be visible or hidden.
Definitely hidden niches are a characteristic motif in the interior and shows a clever approach to the use of space of 120 sq.m., through which a clean vision is preserved. At the request of the client to always have the kitchen in its minimalist form, all necessary utensils and utensils are visually hidden behind the marble kitchen back with a sliding mechanism. At the touch of a button, the back of the kitchen counter is automatically lifted and the kitchen is once again transformed into readiness for delicious adventures. When lowered, the back harmoniously fits with the flooring, and the marble vein can find its continuation on the decorative slab in the living room opposite the sofa.
