This apartment is an example of how a standard two-room apartment with an area of 64 m² can be used to create a full-fledged family space of three rooms (two-bedroom). We redesigned the uncomfortable hallway, turning it into the center of the apartment with a combined kitchen-living room, designed an autonomous children’s room and a master bedroom with its own bathroom.
The interior has a light Scandinavian aesthetic: natural materials, soft tones and warm accents.
As a result, the family received a spacious, functional and comfortable home, where every meter works for comfort and daily life.

Remodeling and Interior Design Project: Two-Bedroom 64 m² Apartment in Primorsky Kvartal, St. Petersburg
A young family with a child approached us with the goal of transforming a classic 64 m² two-room apartment with a separate kitchen into a two-bedroom layout. The objective was to create distinct and functional zones: a spacious living room, a cozy master bedroom, and a full-featured children’s room.
Layout Before And After
Initial Layout Analysis: Key Issues
A thorough assessment of the original configuration revealed several significant problems:
- Inefficient corridor: A dark, oversized hallway measuring 9 m² with sharp angles and narrow passages not only consumed excessive space but also created bottlenecks and a clutter of doors.
- Absence of a common area: The apartment lacked a designated living room. The family had to gather in either the kitchen (13.8 m², located in the right wing) or one of the bedrooms, which compromised privacy.
- Poor circulation: Movement within the apartment was inefficient, forcing residents to pass repeatedly through the dark corridor and entryway “dirty zone,” often creating disruptive noise during quiet hours.
- Useless second bathroom: A very small secondary bathroom (2.3 m²) proved to be impractical and served no real functional purpose in its original state.
New Layout Concept: Spatial Transformation
To achieve the goal of a three-room apartment with maximum comfort and usability, our key solution was to effectively reclaim the 9 m² previously lost to the corridor.
Reimagining the Apartment Center
Our first step was eliminating the dark corridor by merging part of it with the central room. We then relocated the kitchen to this new central area, freeing up the old kitchen space for repurposing.
As a result, the center of the apartment now features a spacious 21.4 m² family zone that unites the kitchen, dining, and living areas — organically connected to a newly optimized 1.4 m² entryway.
Private Children’s Room
In the former kitchen space — located in the autonomous right wing — we designed a cozy 13.2 m² children’s room with convenient access to the main bathroom, which includes a full-size bathtub.
Master Bedroom with Ensuite
In the left wing of the apartment, we placed a comfortable 12.2 m² master bedroom. Utilizing part of the former corridor, we expanded the second bathroom to 4.0 m², making space for a shower and laundry zone. This ensuite bathroom has direct access from the master bedroom, offering maximum privacy.
Loggia and Storage Solutions
A spacious 6.9 m² loggia with two entrances (from the living room and children’s room) was divided into two functional zones: 3.7 m² and 3.3 m². The 3.7 m² area adjacent to the living room was transformed into a bright and cozy home office.
Throughout the apartment, we integrated built-in, compact yet capacious storage systems — in the bedroom, children’s room, and entryway — ensuring every corner is used efficiently.
Interior Design: Contemporary Scandinavian Comfort
The interior is styled in a modern, functional manner with touches of Scandinavian minimalism. This choice enabled the creation of a bright, airy, and inviting space tailored to everyday comfort. The color palette is based on soft pastel tones in beige and green, complemented by natural wood textures, warm textiles, and plaster finishes — bringing warmth and a natural ambiance to the home.

Result: A Space Designed for Comfortable Living
As a result, the young family gained not just a remodeled apartment but a significantly upgraded living experience. We transformed a standard two-room layout into a functional “Euro-three-room” apartment with three full-fledged spaces: a combined kitchen-dining-living room, a private master bedroom, and a complete children’s room.
Key achievements include the clear separation of public and private zones and the creation of ergonomic circulation paths that eliminated “maze-like” transitions. Every square meter now works to benefit the entire family.
