Transformation of a Three-Room Apartment with a separate kitchen into a “Euro 4” Format — 89 m², Primorsky Kvartal Residential Complex, Saint Petersburg

Task: Rethink an inconvenient three-room layout and create a full-fledged four-room apartment for a family with a child, including:

• an open shared kitchen-living area
• a private bedroom
• a separate home office
• a full children’s room with its own bathroom

Solution: A complete renovation, combining the kitchen, dining, and living areas into a single space, rational redistribution of square meters, and a thoughtful approach to privacy and lighting.
Style: Contemporary functionalism with elements of Scandinavian design. A light, calm palette in gray-beige tones, natural materials, built-in storage systems, simple forms, and clean lines.

What Was Wrong

• Dark and inefficient corridor (14.31 m²) in the center of the apartment
• Narrowing at the entrance to the kitchen and second bathroom — awkward geometry
• The second bathroom (2.51 m²) was too small to accommodate a shower
• Lack of one extra room to meet the client’s spatial requirements

Our Layout Solution

We transformed the central corridor into a functional core of the apartment — merging it with the living room into a common kitchen-dining-living area of 25.78 m². The kitchen was relocated (within regulation) to the “wet zone” of the former corridor, and the freed-up kitchen space was repurposed as the children’s room. The layout became open, logical, and flexible.

What We Achieved

• 25.78 m² — kitchen-dining-living area at the center of the apartment, a shared family space
• 13.84 m² — children’s room with a study area, built-in wardrobe, and a private bathroom with a shower
• 14.84 m² — home office with a work area, storage system, and access to a 2.64 m² loggia arranged as a cozy relaxation nook
• 18.54 m² — master bedroom with spacious wardrobes and convenient access to the main bathroom
• 5.05 m² — compact entryway with direct access to the shared space, built-in wardrobes, washing machine, and dryer

Result

From an inconvenient three-room layout, we created a modern four-room apartment with clear zoning and a well-thought-out structure, comfortable for a young family.
