Comfortable living in a smaller space.
What does it take to make a compact home feel truly comfortable? We had to resolve all essential storage needs, optimize the layout, and preserve a sense of comfort and well-being.
We used a wide range of natural materials, softer rounded forms, bespoke built-in furniture and carefully selected statement pieces that reflect the client’s personality. Each room was designed individually, yet they are all connected through a cohesive palette of colors, materials, and accessories. Wooden wall paneling and earthy grey-brown tones run throughout the interior, giving the apartment a unified design language while allowing each space to retain its own character.
The space for the kitchen was not particularly generous, but we managed to design the cabinetry in a way that allows for comfortable, efficient use with minimal compromise. Given the layout of the kitchen positioned between two walls, we decided to introduce an additional material into the space: ceramic tiles. These enrich the compact area with texture and add visual depth.
The same ceramic tiles were used in the bathroom, combined with small-format tiles. The bathroom layout allowed for very limited changes, and every element had to be designed with millimetre precision. Despite these constraints, we were able to incorporate a significant amount of storage, primarily through custom-made solutions. The small space was maximized and now feels pleasant, fresh, and highly functional.
In the bedroom, we incorporated a variety of natural materials such as linen wallpaper, a soft rug, fabrics, and upholstery with natural fibres, which soften the space and enhance the feeling of comfort. The design also includes a narrow vanity table with practical drawers, creating an additional zone that can be used as a home office.Both in the bedroom and throughout the apartment, we introduced several designer statement pieces that reflect the client’s taste and add a sense of individuality and subtle luxury.
Rozhodne v neposlednom rade sme sa venovali návrhu chodby, ktorá tvorí vždy prvý dojem z bývania. Otvorený menší pôdorys znamenal, že chodbu vnímate z celého bytu a je stále vizuálnou súčasťou interiéru. V tomto prípade to znamenalo aj zakryť elektro-skriňu pri vstupných dverách. The arched wall details are therefore not purely decorative -as they serve a functional purpose by hiding elements we prefer not to see. Naturally, the flooring plays a key role here.The distinctive marble tile acts as a jewel that visually separates the entrance zone from the rest of the interior and gives the space a unique character.
