AR Apartment

Context

The apartment boasts a prime location on the top floor of a new building, near the Palace of Parliament. It spans 100 square meters and faces north and west.

Concept

Our goal was to create a unique spatial experience, starting from an existing floor plan and addressing the diverse needs and preferences of the family. We explored attributes such as massiveness, height, scenography, and fluidity.

Access

The entrance hall provides easy access to all rooms, offers convenient storage, and transforms a visible beam into an architectural lighting feature, like a threshold. A mirror marks the corner and hints at what lies ahead.

Family and Friends Space

The living area, connected to the kitchen, benefits from high ceilings and generous glazing, making it very bright in the afternoon. We used natural textures and warm shades on the rounded furniture surfaces and the newly created architectural elements (the concavity behind the sofa, the light beam above it, a sculptural fold for the TV, and a barisol screen that unites the kitchen furniture with the ceiling).

Workspace

Designed to keep you focused, the workspace features Cartesian rigor in its furniture and lighting fixtures. The choice of golden shades and wood textures was influenced by the abundant western light.

Rest Area

In the master bedroom, the juxtaposition of stone and wood creates a pictorial backdrop. Curved surfaces dominate, from the headboard to the dressing room, bedside tables, and mirrors.

Child’s Universe

The child’s room is the playful part of the house, with furniture that invites study or relaxation in a colorful atmosphere.
