452 Sq. Ft. Two-Bedroom Apartment Design and Functional Layout.

• Interior Style: Modern, functional, Scandinavian, featuring a soft, light, natural color palette with textures of wood and textiles, and minimalist forms.
• Layout: Designed for a young bachelor.
• Location: “Primorsky Kvartal” Residential Complex, St. Petersburg.

This project is another example in our practice where the original layout of a one-bedroom apartment from the developer had several typical and, unfortunately, critical drawbacks. Our redesign aimed to maximize efficiency and comfort from every one of the 452 square feet available.

Analysis of the Original Layout’s Drawbacks

• Dark, Excessive Hallway: An unnecessarily large 89 sq. ft. corridor.
• Uninspired Zoning: Overly long, labyrinthine internal routes for the given area, including a hazardous “bottleneck trap” where doors clustered in a small space.
• Blurred Living & Private Spaces: The single room served as both bedroom and living area, preventing the maintenance of a private space when guests were present.

After the Redesign

Thanks to our redesign, the apartment completely shed the flaws of its original layout, gaining the status and all the advantages of a modern two-bedroom.

• Large, Multifunctional Open Space: A spacious 216 sq. ft. kitchen, dining, and living area. The living room is logically divided into kitchen, dining, and TV zones, ensuring these spaces flow seamlessly without interfering with each other.
• Separate Bedroom: A private 120 sq. ft. bedroom. Now, you can entertain guests while the bedroom remains a private sanctuary.
• Cozy, Optimally Sized Entryway: A comfortable 44 sq. ft. entry with a wide, welcoming access to the living-kitchen area.
• Logical & Efficient Internal Routes: Optimized internal pathways mean you no longer have to navigate pointless miles through a dark labyrinth.
• Compact, Yet Ample Built-in Storage: These systems are a crucial element in creating a maximally ergonomic space.
• Comfortable Balcony: A 34 sq. ft. balcony featuring a pleasant relaxation nook.

Ultimately, we created a modern, harmonious, and highly functional layout where every square foot works to enhance comfort and bring joy to living.
