Minsk is located in the heart of Belarus, Apartment n Proves how compact places can be converted into a stylish and highly functional homes. designed by Natasha KukreshAn internal architect located in Brittany, France, it balances aesthetics and practicality to master a 533-class-foot studio apartment, while ensuring a sense of openness and comfort.
Facing the challenge of limited square footage, Kukresh approached the project with a strategic mentality, prioritizing efficiency without compromising on any style. To customize the available space, the traditional dining table was replaced with a smooth kitchen peninsula, which provides both a food and prep area. Assuming that the apartment is not intended to work, a dedicated workpiece was deliberately abandoned, allowing more liquid and untouched layouts.
The studio layout includes a bedroom area that is subtlely defined by a sliding glass division. This option maintains a visual relationship between the spaces offering a degree of privacy. In contrast, the bathroom and a huge walk-in closet are fully attached. The closet, an essential feature for the fashion-forward client, is designed to be spacious and organized, reflecting a passion for aesthetics and personal style.
Beyond its practical aspects, the apartment has a careful curated design language which is both expressive and sophisticated. A rich mixture of lively hues and textures infects space with personality while maintaining an overlapping sense of harmony. Kukaresh efficiently responds to bold elements with a clean and structured layout, preventing the interior from feeling overwhelmed by decorative details.
One of the major changes addressing the original non-orthogonal structure of the apartment. The thoughtful adjustment was made to refine the spatial configuration, preserving as much as possible as possible. Another important idea was the lighting, which the apartment was given the western-interacting orientation. To combat the variability of natural light, a warm-tond roof was introduced in a striking yellow, complemented by a well-employed artificial lighting. This approach ensures constant inviting and bright environment regardless of the day’s time.
Modern flu tiles in a copper shade are associated with a more traditional marble backplash and countertop in the kitchen area. Smokey gray cabinets combine compact space together as complement to the remaining elements of the apartment.
The apartment N shows that a small -scale living life can be both luxurious and practical when a thoughtful design is directed by philosophy. Kukresa’s approach embraces personality while maintaining a spontaneous flow, resulting in a house that is comfortable.
