This interior design project transforms a compact one-bedroom apartment for Amely and Michael into a functional, elegant home designed around both their current lifestyle and future family needs.
The clients wanted an open and social home with dedicated spaces for cooking, relaxing, Xbox gaming, working, creating art, entertaining guests, and caring for their pet.
The brief also required privacy, generous storage, practical everyday solutions, and enough flexibility for the apartment to adapt when they have a child.
I developed the floor plan around a central social living core and a separate private sleeping zone, creating clear zoning while maintaining an open and spacious feeling.
I designed a multifunctional entrance with integrated storage and a stroller-friendly circulation route, while the open kitchen and dining area allows cooking and socializing to happen together.
The bedroom was carefully planned as a quiet private retreat with extensive wardrobe storage and a flexible area that can function as a dressing table now and accommodate a baby crib in the future.
I also transformed the balcony into a creative multifunctional workspace for working, reading and painting, including a desk, bookshelf and easel.
The interior concept combines warm wood, muted and deep greens, stone tones, soft neutrals, natural materials and subtle golden accents to create a calm, sophisticated and nature-inspired atmosphere.
The result is a modern, warm and highly efficient small apartment where every square metre has a purpose, balancing aesthetics, comfort, storage and flexibility while creating a home that can evolve with Amely and Michael over time.
