The apartment is located in Vilnius bohemian neighborhood Užupis. The walls of the building were made from yellow bricks. The 100-year-old bricks became the main feature of the design, which is telling a bit history of the building.
The floor plan was born from a goal of using every centimeter of the apartment within the constraints of the building structure.
The main concept of the design is a horizontal line - height of the window sills going through the whole apartment. It makes the space feel much wider.
White and grey dominate the apartment bringing out the yellow brick as the accent. The natural wood color flooring gives a warm touch to the apartment's palette.
Original window sills were renovated to make a cousy sitting place...
... to play chess or backgammon. Or just a enjoy a cup of coffee with a view.
The L-shaped kitchen is open to the living area thus getting natural light from two big windows.
The horizontal line turns upside down and continues in the hallway
Entrance hallway is visibly enlarged by mirrors.
One of the workroom wall/built-in wardrobe is glazed with mirrors to enlarge a narrow space.
All the radiators are closed in with brick pattern panels.
Every centimeter counts. An existing niche was used for the bedrest.
Bedroom was designed to have a built-in wardrobe.
Two lamps hangs from the ceiling for those reading in bed.
An airy work-space was designed in the bedroom.
Chevron pattern tiles were used following the horizontal line concept to add wholeness to project.
