As architects, we were approached by the owner with a request to transform a newly acquired apartment in Bratislava. It was an apartment in its original condition with a not very suitable layout and arrangement of spaces. Based on the client's requirements, we decided on a complete renovation and redesign, which required a more extensive reconstruction.
The original, strictly defined layout divided into individual closed rooms with not ideal lighting of service spaces was replaced by the concept of open living, where the removal of barriers in the form of partitions creates the heart of the apartment in the form of its daytime zone, which is well-lit, optically enlarges the area of the space, and creates an open area for spending time together. Another major change was the adjustment of the room sizes, so that in the future they could serve the role of a bedroom and two smaller, equal-sized rooms. Naturally, there was also an expansion of the bathroom, the final part of which is both a bathtub and a spacious shower area.
The interior was designed with regard to the genius loci of the place, utilizing and subsequently endorsing existing valuable materials. The rawness of the original materials, supported by the use of stainless steel elements, contrasts yet balances with natural materials represented by wood and veneered surfaces. Emphasis was placed on the quality of the materials used, the purity of lines, and details, especially at the intersections of exposed concrete with individual elements of the furniture sets and proposed surfaces.
The dominant feature of the apartment becomes a centrally located core containing the apartment's sanitary facilities in the form of a bathroom. This element is separated from the ceiling structures by a skylight, which supports its insertion into the given space. This entire central system is intersected by the exposed load-bearing system of the apartment that runs throughout its layout. This striking moment divides the apartment not only aesthetically but also functionally into the daytime social part (living room with kitchen) and the nighttime/living part represented by the rooms and sanitary facilities. As an accent supporting the rawness of the concrete structures, furniture sets made of stainless steel, such as the kitchen unit and TV unit, stand out.
Light colors and natural materials prevail in the interior. The wooden strip floor laid in a chevron pattern flows throughout the living space. In the bathroom and WC, it is complemented by monochromatic cast micro-cement floors. The purity of detail is enhanced by the use of a frame-less door system, height-wise referencing the edge of the concrete lintel. The apartment contains a plethora of storage spaces, primarily created by furniture sets that blend with the walls, thus maintaining the minimalist character of the apartment.
The result is a modern, well-lit interior that not only meets contemporary aesthetic demands but primarily enhances the quality of living within the limited space of a panel building.
