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 a kid’s bedroom 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 bedroom.
Layout Before And After
Initial Layout Analysis: Key Issues
A thorough assessment of the original configuration revealed several significant problems:
- Inefficient corridor: A dark, redundant 9 m² corridor filled with sharp angles, narrow passages, and tight bottlenecks.
- 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: Indoor traffic flows lacked logic, forcing residents into daily unnecessary detours through a dark labyrinth of corridors and right across the “dirty zone” of the entryway—creating foot traffic noise and slamming doors during quiet hours.
- Useless second bathroom: A very small second bathroom of 2.3 m² held almost no practical value in its original state.
New Layout Concept: Spatial Transformation
To achieve our primary goal – creating a highly functional and comfortable two-bedroom apartment – our key strategy focused on the efficient repurposing of the 9 square meters previously wasted on the hallway.
- Reimagining the Core of the Apartment
As a first step, we eliminated the corridor entirely, integrating most of its area into the central room. The kitchen was then relocated into this new space—specifically onto the “wet zone” of the former hallway—which, in turn, freed up its original footprint to accommodate a kid’s bedroom.
The center of the apartment now boasts a spacious 21.4 m² communal living area that seamlessly combines clearly zoned kitchen, dining, and living spaces. This area flows naturally into the entryway, which has been optimized to an ideal size 1.4 m² and now benefits from direct natural light. - Kid’s bedoom
On the site of the former kitchen in the right wing of the apartment, we designed a 13.2 m² kid’s bedroom. It features convenient access to the main bathroom and its own private glazed balcony. - Master Bedroom with Ensuite
In the left wing of the apartment, we positioned a 12.2 m² master bedroom. By reclaiming the remaining portion of the corridor, the second bathroom was expanded to 4.0 m², allowing enough room for a walk-in shower and a dedicated laundry zone. This second bathroom features direct en-suite access from the bedroom, ensuring complete privacy for the parents. - Glazed Balcony
The large 6.9 m² glazed balcony, which features dual access from both the living room and the kid’s bedroom, was divided into two functional zones of 3.7 m² and 3.3 m². The 3.7 m² section adjacent to the living room was transformed into a bright home office and a cozy lounge area. - Storage Systems
Compact, space-saving yet high-capacity built-in storage systems were integrated into the master bedroom, kid’s bedroom, and entryway. This approach eliminated the need for additional freestanding furniture and effectively removed visual clutter.
Interior Design
The interior design is executed in a contemporary, functional style with elements of Scandinavian minimalism. The color palette is based on a combination of light, pastel tones in beige and green hues, beautifully complemented by the warm, natural textures of wood, textiles, and plaster.

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.
