Project Task

A family with two children came to us. The main goal was to turn a new standard three-room apartment of 84 m² into a four-room format. The clients’ wishes included:

• a spacious kitchen-living room,
• a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and its own bathroom,
• two separate kids’ rooms,
• two full bathrooms,
• sufficient storage space.

Analysis of the Original Layout

We identified the key problems of the standard layout:

• Corridor and hallway — excessive and dark 15.4 m² of inefficient space.
• Kitchen — too small to combine the functions of a dining and living room. If kept as-is, the family would either lose parental privacy or one of the children’s rooms.
• Second bathroom — too small to accommodate a shower.

New Layout Solution

• The hallway space was combined with one of the rooms, creating a central family area of kitchen-dining-living room of 26.3 m².
• In the “wet zone” of the former hallway, according to regulations, a 5.5 m² kitchen niche was organized.
• By relocating the kitchen, space was made for an 11.7 m² master bedroom.
• The second bathroom was expanded to 4.6 m² using part of the corridor, accommodating a full shower.

After the Renovation

• Kitchen-dining-living room 26.3 m² — a spacious, well-zoned family area.
• Master bedroom 11.7 m² with a private walk-in closet of 4.4 m² and en-suite bathroom.
• Two kids’ rooms 14.6 m² and 13.5 m² — equal in status, comfortable, and functional.
• Main bathroom 5.4 m² with an additional laundry zone.
• Hallway became compact (2.5 m²) and convenient, with functional built-in furniture.

Design and Atmosphere

• Style — contemporary minimalism with elements of Scandinavian aesthetics.
• Palette: warm beige, several shades of gray, dark accents, blue furniture, natural wood.
• Textures: matte finishes, wood, stone, textiles, and metal.
• Key accents: chandelier with smoky glass shades, backlit mirror, expressive artwork.

Furniture and Solutions

• Kitchen — handleless fronts, a mix of gray and wood, marble with golden veining.
• Dining area — round table and blue velvet chairs.
• Living room — cozy dark gray sofa, minimalist TV unit.
• Hallway — built-in wardrobe across the entire wall, backlit mirror, comfortable bench.

Lighting

• General — recessed spotlights and linear lighting.
• Accent — chandelier above the dining table, highlighting the dining area.
• Decorative — LED backlighting of furniture and niches, wall sconces, backlit hallway mirror.

Conclusion

This project demonstrates how even a standard layout can be transformed into a convenient and stylish space, where every family member has a place for living, relaxing, and privacy.
