ABOUT THE PROJECT
The interior of this project presents an intriguing blend of elements drawn from various styles. A distinct Scandinavian influence is evident in the warm wood finishes, pristine white-grey walls, built-in furniture, and a cozy, inviting decor. The principles of minimalism are apparent in the sleek kitchen design, which seamlessly integrates with the living room, as well as in the subtle and understated color palette used throughout the space. Classical style is represented by decorative wall moldings and plush, soft furnishings.
CLIENT
The design of the space reflects its owner, a sophisticated woman with fiery red hair and refined, exquisite taste. She is the true embodiment of modern classicism, and her personality and style are meticulously mirrored in every element of the interior design.
ONGOING
OUTCOME
The apartment underwent a comprehensive transformation. Initially, it was completely demolished and then meticulously reconstructed to ensure comfortable proportions for built-in furniture. The bedrooms have been designed with a minimalist approach, while the kitchen and living room are spacious and inviting. The strategic removal of the loggia provided additional space to accommodate the dining area.
The design focused on creating cozy, zoned areas, each with its own distinct atmosphere. Comfortable chairs strategically placed by the window offer a tranquil spot to relax and enjoy the city views, while a dining area is comfortably nestled deep within the space that was formerly a loggia. The dining table is an Altacom piece, the chairs are from Midj, and the soft furnishings were custom-made to perfectly fit the space.

The display cabinet furniture was exclusively designed by Churina Design studio specifically for this project, which features a minimalist kitchen situated along a complex wall.
One of the apartment's key features is a 13-meter wardrobe that extends from the hallway to the living room. This wardrobe provides ample storage space for seasonal clothing, holiday decorations, extra textiles and dinnerware, and even houses an aquarium and a dedicated television area.
In a clever design move, a shared wardrobe between the master bedroom and the children's room replaced a wall and is strategically positioned between two pillars, with facades resembling decorative wall panels.
Significant attention was given to the lighting design. With LED backlighting installed around the ceiling perimeter and decorative pendant lights highlighting key areas, the lighting design truly brings the space to life. Additionally, the apartment also features warm accent lighting within the furniture and aquarium lighting, which creates an intimate nighttime glow.
