Ventilate, breathe, live. The apartment is located on the top floor of a tenement house built at the beginning of the 20th century with high ceilings and casement windows. These apartments have their charm but often have layouts unsuitable for modern use.

The owners wanted to create an airy and spacious living area where they could comfortably gather. At the same time, the task was to create smaller private rooms for all household members. We searched for the ideal layout for a long time, resulting in numerous variants, but thanks to a long and persistent process, we arrived at the final version, which pleases both the owners and us. Only the load-bearing walls remain from the original layout, and even those underwent several modifications. The living space flows throughout the layout right from the entrance and can be easily expanded and extended into the bedroom/study. This room is accessible from two sides, with curtains around the perimeter ensuring privacy. The other half of the apartment belongs to the children's room and the bathroom. The floor area of the children's room is not particularly generous, but this disadvantage is sufficiently compensated by a sleeping loft hidden above the closet. A small window by the bed improves air circulation and allows for communication with other family members "downstairs." The bathroom is minimalist, wildly reconfigured to fit everything necessary for a young family. A slight surprise upon entering the apartment might be the complete absence of ceiling lights - the only exception is a chandelier above the dining table. All other lights are incorporated into the furniture; the light source is not visible, and its intensity adapts to the time of day or night. Often underestimated, the lighting in this apartment was chosen with great sensitivity, with significant input from the owners, resulting in a pleasant atmosphere in every season and at any time of day.
