Something seemed to be blocking the progress of the original idea. There was too much city in the city with her!..... The client was offered a new interior concept inspired by the view from the living room window – a peaceful and serene horizon. Minimalist, functional, warm and peaceful space is our attempt to interpret the rising popularity of Japandi style, a mixture of Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics: the homely comfort and cosiness of Danish Hugge with the imperfection of wabi-sabi. For a number of reasons, the budget was small, so we identified three areas that were worth spending money on.

These are high doors, natural flooring and a sliding kitchen system. Japandi style and wabi-sabi philosophy made it possible not to waste money on additional work on the walls and ceiling - they were left in their original form. Traditionally, attention has been paid to redevelopment: the geometry of the living room has changed from long and narrow to more comfortable. Added a separate dressing room at the entrance to the apartment and the second in the bedroom. The main decorative dominant was the wall of glass blocks.

As a light installation, it works both from the living room and from the bathroom. The ceilings are low, so we used these doors to visually change this situation. A sliding kitchen system allows you to diversify the environment and turn the area from more kitchen to more living. The shelf along the entire wall serves as a kind of gallery that will allow residents to change their atmosphere and images without fundamental changes in the interior, using different sets of dishes, decor, paintings, art objects for this.
