Classic proportions.
Natural details.
Light moulded walls and panelled furniture provide a shared foundation. Timber flooring adds warmth, while natural patterns distinguish the rooms: a forest motif in one bedroom, expressive leaves in the other and stone veining in the bathrooms. The layout balances open space for company with separate rooms for personal routines.
Space planning
Shared living.
Private rooms of your own.
The apartment needs a generous gathering space and room to spend time alone without leaving home.
Design response
The revised layout brings the kitchen and living room together, retains two separate bedrooms and introduces a study and dressing room. A corridor connects the rooms; a separate utility room keeps services out of the living areas.
Everyday benefit
Work, rest and storage each have a defined place. Two shower rooms serve the private areas, so residents do not have to share a single bathroom.
Entrance and storage
An entrance
with room for everyday things.
The long hallway sets the first impression while connecting several rooms.
Design response
Tall cabinets repeat the framed pattern of the light walls. A mirror, floating console and pouf make a useful stopping point; an upholstered niche adds seating beside the storage.
Everyday benefit
Coats stay out of the circulation route. There is somewhere to sit and set down small essentials, with fitted furniture that belongs to the wall composition.
Living room
A light living room
for unhurried company.
The seating area occupies the bright part of the shared room beside a large window.
Design response
A sofa, high-backed armchair and low tables sit together on a rug. Pale mouldings and the architectural image behind the sofa give the room its classic character; a simple media cabinet keeps the opposite wall uncluttered.
Everyday benefit
The seats face into the room for conversation. Sheer curtains admit daylight, with heavier curtains available for privacy.
Kitchen
Pale cabinetry.
A clear working surface.
The kitchen opens onto the shared room, so its practical functions need to suit the adjoining interior.
Design response
Framed lower fronts meet restrained upper cabinets. A tall unit holds built-in appliances; the illuminated niche and stone-pattern splashback continue the pale palette. A glazed cabinet beside the table displays crockery.
Everyday benefit
Appliances and storage line the wall. Worktop lighting provides a separate layer for cooking without requiring bright light throughout the living room.
Dining area
A table that belongs
to the shared room.
The dining area sits beside the kitchen and remains open to the living space.
Design response
A table with a geometric base is paired with upholstered chairs. Its own pendant marks the setting, against a quiet backdrop of pale walls and fine mouldings.
Everyday benefit
Meals can be served without moving between rooms. The table supports everyday dining and conversation, with a dedicated light for the evening.
Forest-pattern bedroom
A natural backdrop
and a place to read.
In the first bedroom, the emphasis stays around the headboard while the rest of the room is restrained.
Design response
A forest-pattern wall frames the upholstered bed. The tall wardrobe has panelled fronts, and an armchair with a floor lamp sits beside the window. The media wall and low cabinet follow the geometry of the wall panels.
Everyday benefit
The room offers both a comfortable bed and a separate reading spot. A closed wardrobe keeps clothing off the open surfaces.
Botanical bedroom
Expressive wallpaper.
A personal place at the mirror.
The second bedroom has a more decorative character within the same pale palette.
Design response
Botanical patterns link the headboard wall and media area. A dressing table, mirror and upholstered chair join the furniture composition, with light wardrobes and open shelves framing the room.
Everyday benefit
There is a dedicated surface and seat for the morning routine. The patterned walls carry the visual interest, allowing the furniture to stay quiet.
Home study
Work at home
with room to move.
A separate study keeps work away from the bedroom and shared living area.
Design response
The desk sits by the window, with wall-mounted and open storage close at hand. A patterned wall softens the workspace; the room also accommodates an exercise bike.
Everyday benefit
The workspace has its own room and daylight. A short active break is possible nearby without turning the living room into an office or exercise area.
Dressing room
Clothing in view.
A section for each need.
A separate dressing room takes part of the everyday storage out of the living spaces.
Design response
Open units provide varied hanging heights, drawers and shelves for shoes and bags. Lighting defines the upper compartments; a mirror supports dressing.
Everyday benefit
Items are visible without opening every cabinet. The aisle between the units leaves room to choose clothing and use the drawers.
Main shower room
Pale stone patterns
and a glazed shower.
The larger bathroom needs a full shower and a comfortable place at the mirror.
Design response
Stone-pattern tiles connect walls and floor. A glazed enclosure preserves the view, a floating vanity keeps the floor open, and vertical shelves hold everyday products.
Everyday benefit
Each function has a defined place without heavy partitions. Lighting beside the mirror complements the ceiling lights.
Second shower room
A compact room
with a complete set of functions.
The second bathroom continues the apartment finishes in a smaller space.
Design response
A narrow floating vanity and separately lit mirror sit beside the glazed shower. Concealed toilet and bidet installations keep their services within the wall. Stone patterns link the room to the main bathroom.
Everyday benefit
A second shower room gives residents more independence. Wall-hung fittings and glass keep the floor and room boundaries visible.
Lighting and curtains
Separate lighting
for different activities.
An evening at home does not require the same brightness in every corner.
Design response
The design separates general lights, wall lamps, shelf lighting and kitchen task lighting. Two-way switches allow control from several points, while double ceiling tracks are coordinated with the finishes. A possible next step is to combine compatible circuits into lighting scenes and add motorised curtains.
Everyday benefit
Dining, reading and working have their own lighting layers. Automated scenes and curtain motors require separate equipment selection; they are development potential, not an installed system.
Heating and climate
Warmth underfoot.
Services in their right places.
Comfort depends on the positioning of heating and climate equipment as well as the visible finishes.
Design response
The plan provides underfloor heating in selected areas, radiators, combined towel rails and positions for heating controls. Air-conditioning and extract-fan power supplies are coordinated with their locations. Zoned temperature control and schedules are possible extensions.
Everyday benefit
Heating and electrical connections are considered before furniture and finishes. Zoned automation needs separate design and compatibility checks for the selected equipment.
Protection and further scenarios
Options for
an easier daily routine.
Plumbing points, the utility room and access to outdoor areas deserve separate attention to control.
Design response
Possible extensions include leak detection with water shut-off, entrance monitoring and a leaving-home scene that switches off selected lighting groups. Scheduled control could also be considered for the specified outdoor lighting.
Everyday benefit
These additions could reduce routine checks. They are recommended options; installed sensors, a security system and centralised control are not confirmed.
Project scope
Interiors considered
down to furniture and connections.
The project combines replanning, room designs and working details for furniture, lighting, plumbing, heating, ceilings, floors and doors. Bespoke pieces have their own drawings and coordinated dimensions, with finishes and equipment collected in schedules. The design provides a coherent set of decisions for the execution stage.

Mouldings and panelled fronts establish classic proportions. Built-in appliances, a separate dressing room, dedicated workspace and task lighting respond to everyday needs.
