Duplex Apartment

Entry

The original challenge of the apartment was that the entryway opened directly onto a cluttered space under the stairs.

To maximize space and create a welcoming ambiance, the entryway features a dramatic dark paint scheme illuminated by sleek hanging LED lights. A tall cabinet system cleverly utilizes the space under the stairs, providing hidden storage for essentials before entering the main living area.

This versatile storage solution keeps the entryway clutter-free. Keys, bags, and shoes easily find their designated spots in the unit facing the door, while the generous space behind it can accommodate bulkier items such as cleaning supplies, golf bags, or electrical equipment.

Sitting areas

The first floor boasts a thoughtfully designed layout, offering a variety of seating options at different heights, settings and ambience to suit any occasion. This allows the couple to seamlessly transition between activities.

Imagine one partner preparing a meal in the kitchen while the other enjoys a beverage at the high counter, fostering connection even during individual tasks. On the opposite wall, a comfortable dining area with an integrated bench provides ample space for everyday meals and effortlessly expands to accommodate larger gatherings.

For work-from-home days, the open layout allows them to share the space comfortably, maintaining a sense of connection while still having dedicated zones for focused work or online meetings.

Living space

Upstairs, a dedicated living area provides the perfect haven for pursuing individual hobbies. The husband can enjoy his designated gaming zone, while the wife can unwind with movies or books. This personal space fosters both connection and individual enjoyment.

For added convenience, the room features a mini-fridge, coffee counter, and wine counter, eliminating the need for frequent trips downstairs for refreshments.
