housing - small-apt
As the client requested there are two main topics where this project is based on. These topics are Entertainment and Comfort. It was my goal to achieve a space flexible and practical enough for Entertainment and still have a Comfortable place to live.
-The plan is designed to be fluid, so there are no strict divisions of the Living area (living, kitchen, dinning and hall). This way the movement would come naturally and the loft impression will be evident. The fluid scheme can be perceived since you enter the apartment.
-The hall is designed to be spacious. This way it gives the opportunity to have some small storage furniture at the entrance, creates a potential gathering place and makes the steel columns visible which add another antithetical value to the whole design.
-The living area is generally the place where people spent 70% of their time in the house, than it is placed on the NE side, where the only windows are available.
-The bathroom and the kitchen are close for technical purposes. This way the areas which can be used for entertainment purposes are grouped together. The bedroom, which is considered to be a private area is virtually divided from the rest of the house.
-The furniture are chosen to adapt best to e fluid scheme, to be flexible and yet comfortable. Solid furniture would not keep the loft feel and would be hard to adapt for various occasion. By keeping the space occupied by furniture at minimum, there is more room for entertainment and still it is a very comfortable place to live in.
-The main colors of the interior are white, black (plastic or matte) and brick natural color. This combination of colors creates both a lightful space, which takes full advantage of the daylight (the white color), and yet the contrast between white and black (or brick) creates a dynamic space very suitable for the use of the apartment.
-The ceiling is advised to be suspended, as this would be technically more convenient. If there is any possibility to have a sky light, then i advise to apply it, especially on the bedroom.
