Bonjour is a two-story apartment located in a new villa block, spanning 130 m2. Its distinguishing feature is the gallery space above the living room. Within the composition of dark veneered furniture that conceals the stairs, there’s also a television, cleverly hidden behind a sliding front, and a bioethanol fireplace beneath it. The white central cube conceals the toilet and kitchen spaces. The dining area is defined by a hanging light from the gallery and a round table, while the living room features an almost white sofa in soft teddy material, extending to the outside loggia and gallery — the ‘inner balcony’, which can serve as a library, workspace, or relaxation corner.
The apartment comprises two interior sections: the first floor houses the master bedroom with a dressing room and bathroom, while the upper floor contains a long closet concealing two doors leading to the children’s rooms, connected by an intermediate bathroom. The color and material concept is based on a scheme that offers contrasts alongside a sense of lightness and softness. Through a new lighting design concept, we’ve achieved a blend of general and ambient lighting, allowing for different lighting scenarios. Upon stepping into the fully finished interior, it felt as if the apartment itself was saying ‘Bonjour’ to me. I shared this sentiment with the investor, who immediately agreed to name the apartment accordingly
