Zublazana, located above Slovenia, an apartment of 731 sq ft is replaced with a bold, art-rich interior that gives the gallery and the experience of equal parts of the house. designed by Alto Design StudioThe Onda apartment This again imagines what the interior of the 1980s building can look, as well as embracing its owner’s dynamic energy – a prize -winning visual artist and graphic designer who desires his place to reflect his vibrant and experimental beauty.
When the customer first came to the apartment as a teenager, all the features of their era were present in the house: closed rooms, dark colored wood and faded accessories. The goal of renewal was not to eradicate history but to free space from its weight. Instead of eradicating the past, renewal lies in it, combining the remains of the original apartment together with fresh updates.
The first decision was to remove unnecessary doors and walls. By opening the floor scheme, the light now fills the interior with natural light, fills the pre -depressed hallway and connects the rooms in a way that seems natural. Changes in circulation changed the entire environment, which led to better flow and glow in place of heaviness.
Due to lack of budget, designers needed to work strategically, deciding what to keep and what new to create. The original oak parquet floor marked by years of use was carefully sanded, oil was applied and dark, causing heat and continuity.
In contrast, the kitchen was fully reconciled, which began with four huge slabs of marble marble marbles, famous for its craftsmanship. Installing marble itself has become an adventure – a very small elevator requires simplicity and perseverance to navigate the slab. The result is a kitchen that looks huge but fickle, which balances its classic black and white checkerboard floor with peach-tone cabinets and a cherry-red tap that fills the space with personality.
The design is built on the contradictions. Natural ingredients – Oak Cock roofs, cork floors, venous marble – prepare the platform with artificial people: bright plastic chairs, correction cabinet fronts, and the famous superonda sofa of Archizoom in electric red vinyl. This confrontation has been deliberately done, a deliberate meeting of warm and cold, biological and industrial, timeless and avant-guards.
The texture extends to the scene beyond the touch. A storage wall becomes a graphic statement with thick black-white vertical straps, which is almost broken by randomly placed spherical knots. Curtains filter the daylight in soft folds, while pink pipes are spread over the walls, which turn functional elements into happy design features.
The living area reflects the spirit of the apartment most clearly. Established by Superonda Sofa at the center – the symbol of the 1960s that can be re -configured in seats, beds or platforms – the room looks like a constant changing installation. Customers’ artifacts are rowed on the walls and additional pieces are placed on the chair, which strengthen the impression of a private gallery.
The same creative vibration continues in the bedroom in which the striped bed reflects the storage wall, while pink pipes support the corner.
