Design project for an apartment, 145 m²

The entrance hall sets the tone for the whole interior: black lit battens divide the entry from the living room without cutting off the daylight, and porcelain with a golden vein turns the first few metres into a scene in its own right. Microcement on the walls, a mirrored plane and a bespoke bench open the perimeter out. The entrance is presentable and still easy to live with.

The living room is the centre of meaning in this 145 m² interior. A grey television wall with fine brass lines holds the geometry of the room, a spiral ring pendant adds movement, and white sofas with a textured bar island make the zone formal and lived-in at once. The open plan ties the living room to the kitchen and the dining area without visual boundaries and keeps one warm contemporary character.

The kitchen is kept in a calm grey range and has no handles: smooth fronts, a Calacatta marble splashback and fully integrated appliances read as a single monolith. A rectangular crystal pendant above the dining area and a walnut-veneered screen link the working part to the living room, so the kitchen is not a service room but a full part of the formal space.

The warm contemporary richness carries on into the lounge zone: microcement, golden marble, walnut and brass make one palette with accents of ochre. Caramel armchairs and a round bronze table by the panoramic window make a place for reading and talking, and beside them, without a separate room, a compact study with fitted storage has been worked in neatly. This is interior design with a signature, in which every zone continues the same story of materials and light.

The dining zone is defined by a crystal drum pendant and soft velvet seating around a dark table. Textured drapery, the marble splashback, and walnut veneer compose a warm, welcoming character: a space for family dinners and entertaining, with no need for a separate room.

The guest bedroom is rendered in a soft beige-grey palette with ochre accents. Cream leather headboard, a floating bed with edge lighting, and a textured textile panel above create an intimate, almost hotel-like atmosphere; perforated brass pendants and a vanity by the window complete the comfort narrative.

The bathroom is built on a contrast of textures: pale porcelain with a Calacatta marble effect meets a dark grey-green marble insert by the bath, and walnut veneer and a black towel rail add graphic character.

The guest bathroom, unlike the main one, is dark and graphic: large concrete-effect porcelain, a lit walnut niche and a black wall-hung unit make a spare, almost brutal image. Two different characters in one design hand.

The home office sits inside the living room rather than in a room of its own: floor-to-ceiling storage with a lit niche carries the wall panelling on visually, and a walnut-veneered desk and a soft chair make the workspace as presentable as the rest of the apartment.
