About Apartment GP5

Redefining Tenant Personality and Style

Although the original state needed minimal demolition, it didn’t reflect the new tenants’ unique style. Thus, there was a strong urge to reimagine it, aiming for a Scandinavian-inspired warmth with subtle color accents.

Flooring as the Showstopper

Consequently, the floor took center stage. We opted for high-quality, wood-effect stoneware, carefully selecting its hue. This shade reappears in various furniture details, adding cohesion.

Kitchen: The Heart of the Home

The kitchen’s strategic location, next to the entrance, made it the apartment’s vibrant core. Alongside the spacious living room, it establishes a lively communal space.

Ingenious Spatial Division

A load-bearing column, the sole structural feature, cleverly provides a visual and physical break from the entrance. Seamlessly integrating with the furnishings, it functions as both a partition and a spatial divider.

Vision to Reality: A Holistic Approach

This all-encompassing endeavor, from design sketches to furniture selection, brought the clients’ dream to life.
