Ascent Apartment by YCL Studio

Spanning 350 square meters, Ascent Apartment features a striking staircase that ties the entire space together, reminiscent of the winding streets of the old town with ascent feeling through all the apartment.

The first floor is dedicated to private spaces, including the master bedroom and a children’s room, each with its own uniquely designed bathroom. The master bedroom was designed with a concept of two distinct “islands”—a sleeping area and a relaxation area. A large round mirror in the dressing space serves as a focal point, harmonizing the room into a cohesive design.

The children’s room features a spacious play area, along with separate wooden boxes designed to offer privacy and tranquility. The play area is ideal for activities like climbing and playing, while the private wooden sections are dedicated to sleeping and homework. Curtains serve as soft, playful dividers, providing privacy while maintaining a cozy and fun atmosphere.

The second floor, which is the attic level, serves as the family’s social hub. It includes a kitchen with dining area, living room, and a separate home office with two workstations. The attic level is divided by a wooden structure that separates the kitchen from the living room, and houses a home office, bar, and a cozy fireplace area. In this way, we created a cozy, well-scaled space by dividing it into three smaller sections, each with its own distinct function, rather than leaving it as one continuous area.

We focused on maintaining a calm and refined design, respecting the feeling of the old town. The use of a wood accents within a white palette is enhanced with subtle details, ensuring the space feels sophisticated without being overwhelming. The result is a peaceful, pure environment—a space to relax and truly live.
