The apartment was renovated for a young couple with a clear focus on modern function and calm atmosphere. To form a generous, bright, open main living area, all non-load-bearing walls were removed. The entrance is not separated by partitions; it is subtly distinguished through a precise interplay of materials and textures. A unifying material theme organizes the design: oak paired with grey finishes in two variations. In the entrance area, grey-textured ceramic floor tiles meet oak wall cladding and bespoke joinery; in the living space, warm oak flooring is complemented by grey cabinetry and wall panels. Built-in elements run across both zones, making the transition read as fluid, while the change of materials sets a gentle visual boundary and keeps the layout legible.
The open areas are welcoming and representative, whereas the private rooms – the bathroom and bedroom – are kept discreetly out of view. They sit behind a textured wall lining with seamlessly integrated doors and wardrobes, consolidating storage and keeping surfaces calm. Circulation is guided by built-ins rather than corridors, so sightlines remain long and daylight reaches deep into the plan. A restrained palette – oak and quiet greys – lends coherence from threshold to window and allows details to stand out. The result is an interior that balances clarity and comfort: spacious, light-filled, and tidy yet warm and elegant, shaped by natural materials and exact detailing.
