Krušnohorské stráně, a development project from 2021 in Loučná pod Klínovcem. The owner decided to convert Hotel Star 2 into an apartment house and then sell the individual apartments.
I have entered the interior of one of the six apartments in the category INTERIOR.
The apartment is located on the second floor with views to three sides of the world. The living room overlooks the White Water Creek valley.
There were a few client changes made to the apartment, I chose a different colored flooring to better match the interior doors than was standard. The bathroom includes a toilet, which I separated with a half partition and created a shower instead of a bath.
The owner's intention from the beginning was to rent the apartment out mostly, but to use it partly for himself and his family. The interior furnishings had to meet the needs of short-term rentals. There was no need for a large amount of storage space as in a regular apartment.

The client wanted the furniture part of the project to be as logistically simple as possible and ideally provided by one company in one or two deadlines. He did not want any furniture atypicalities.
It was then up to me to realise the textiles and wall treatments. Less furnishing of the space required more distinctive wall decoration, also for greater photogenic appeal. Clients looking for short-term rentals often choose housing based on the feel of photos on the internet.
The main painted motif decorating the long wall of the living room is a view of the cable car leading to the top of Klinovec. A detail from this painting also appears in the bedroom above the bed. The motif is framed by a painted frame.
Curtains proved to be the most suitable and least susceptible type of window shading. But they could not be as long as the floor because of the heating.
An important feature alongside the murals are the round screens in the hallway which partially cover the breakers. Unfortunately, these could not be placed in a less visible location. The painting can simply be taken down, the breaker door opened and then the painting re-hung. The motifs in the paintings and in the photographs in the coloured oval frames in the bedroom are places to visit in the area.
Interior size: 64 m2, it includes a double room, a balcony and a terrace. It can accommodate up to 6 people.
