Three-Bedoom Apartment 99m with Two Children’s Rooms
Three-Bedoom Apartment 99m with Two Children’s Rooms
Transforming a Three-Room Apartment into a Comfortable Four-Foom Layout with Two Kids’ Rooms and Two Bathrooms
Location: Primorsky Kvartal Residential Complex, Saint Petersburg.
Area: 99 m².
Layout: Three-bedroom (open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area + three private rooms).
Style: Contemporary, focused on comfort and functionality, with Scandinavian design elements and a soft, light beige color palette.
Original Layout
The 99 m² apartment was originally divided into two symmetrical sections connected by a narrow 90 cm corridor. This design resulted in several serious limitations:
- Inefficient hallway of 20.1 m² — a dark, non-functional space taking up 22% of the total apartment area.
- Small master bathroom — only 3.5 m², and no toilet in the 2.2 m² guest bathroom.
- Only one children’s room — 15.7 m², insufficient for a family with two kids.
- Kitchen-dining area — just 11.6 m², too cramped for a family of four.
- Living room (19.1 m²) — spacious but isolated, not supporting the idea of a united family space.
- Distance from the kid’s room to the toilet — 9 meters one way through a dark hallway.
New planning solution
As a result of the redevelopment, the apartment gained a harmonious layout fully aligned with the needs of a modern family with children:
- Combined kitchen–dining–living area — 26.8 m², with comfortable seating at the dining table, a dedicated communication/lounge zone, and a spacious niche kitchen.
- Mini home office on the integrated part of the loggia — a window-side workspace separated by a door.
- Hall reduced to 8.1 m², integrated into the common space and equipped with a well-thought-out storage system.
- Walk-in wardrobe relocated closer to the entrance and expanded to an optimal 4.7 m² to meet the needs of a large family.
- Master bedroom — 18.5 m², with a workspace by the window, generous built-in wardrobes, and a private large bathroom with a bathtub. Located in an autonomous private wing of the apartment, separated from the “children’s” wing.
- Children’s room No. 1 — 14.1 m², with built-in furniture, a play area, and a study zone.
- Children’s room No. 2 — 12.7 m², created by relocating the kitchen; a full-fledged separate room for the second child.
- Bathrooms enlarged:
– Master bathroom — 5.8 m², with a bathtub and access from the master bedroom.
– Guest/children’s bathroom — now 4.1 m², with a full-size shower and a laundry area.
Through rational redevelopment, we brought back into active use 20 m² of space (22% of the apartment’s total area) that had previously been consumed by non-functional corridors, and added one more living room. In terms of residential floor area valued at 2021 market prices, this is equivalent to $ 119,728.
