LOCATION GERMANY
YEAR 2018
AREA 68
This is a small and cozy apartment located in the Soviet part of Berlin, with a special sentimental value for our client who was born there. In the 90s, the apartment was sold, and the cherished memories of the space were lost. Recently, the client repurchased the apartment, seeking to reconnect with the memory of their parents and their joyful childhood. The intention is to use it for business trips. Instead of relying on flea markets for furnishings, we opted to recreate the spirit of the apartment using modern furniture. The design and layout were carefully planned to ensure comfort for one or two people.

PLANNING DECISION

The purpose - is an apartment for business trips. A representative area and a private sleeping area are highlighted. Living room is a place of rest and a place of negotiations at the same time. The kitchen is separated by a glass cube with a metal mesh. The wardrobe is placed at the entrance. The bathroom and toilet are located to the left of the kitchen, accessible through a separate corridor. In the living room, a designated area is reserved for the dining space. In the traditional sense, the dining room was historically the first place where guests were invited.

"The dining area is a place for communication between family and friends. It should be as spacious as possible – a scale of the space contributes to the overall mood, even if you are dining alone. Comfort is a priority, not just in terms of having a place at the table, but also in the carefully selected height of the armrests on the chairs. The simplicity of everyday serving and the availability of serving dishes are also taken into consideration."

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The kitchen in this apartment is designed to be small and super functional. The work surface is placed along the window, providing a sink area with a pleasant view of the avenue. Built-in sorters for spices and storage are incorporated into the partition between the bedroom and kitchen, all communications are concealed within the wall below.

The functional column in the kitchen encompasses all the essential appliances. We have chosen a special refrigerator with drawers-shelves, considering its location and the tall height of the owner. The working surface of the kitchen has been increased in depth to satisfy even a chef. The kitchen bases are elevated on legs, not only to enhance the aesthetic view from the living room but also to ensure proper airflow for the radiator positioned under the window. The kitchen features shelving that extends up to the ceiling, with open shelves providing ample room for storing kitchen utensils and cookbooks, of which the host has many.

Place of a dream:

Based on our experience, people can generally be divided into two categories: those who enjoy waking up in a sun-drenched room and those who prefer a bit of darkness to prolong their sleep. Here is a "Gentleman's set" for the bedroom, which includes a bed, two bedside tables, a wardrobe, and a dressing table. This combination creates the atmosphere of "1000 and one night" fairy tales.
The construction feature of the room successfully highlighted the area at the entrance with the dressing table, which can be a workplace at the same time - a relevant function, given the purpose that this flat is as apartments for business trips.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The bathroom is separated from the toilet due to the layout of the apartment. Its size does not affect the overall dimensions of the items used. The functional marble boxes that we replaced the regular cabinet with for storage inside the shower cabins deserve special attention.

In addition to the shower rack, which gives the impression of an outdoor shower, we used specially stretched slats from floor to ceiling. They complement the image, block the view from the street into the shower, and prevent water from reaching the window.

INSPIRATION

"The weather is often gray in Berlin, and there is always a festive atmosphere here. The apartment seems to say, "I'm glad you came back to me..."
