The spatial layout was designed around our new centrepiece element – the central wall, which was cladded with old recycled brick masonry and is visible from all sides of the apartment. Masonry was recycled from an old building and with a bit of effort cleaned, cut and reused. In particular, we made a decision of using a filler with a similar colour as the masonry – this move honestly shows that the cladding is an aesthetic addition, furthermore it doesn’t visually saturate a relatively small area. This central element becomes a meeting and socializing point, simultaneously separating the sleeping part from the living space, in addition it opened and connected the space (both visually and functionally).
It integrated into a visual whole three most important spaces of each home – the kitchen, the dining room and the living room, which can be adapted to the everyday needs of its users. With the reuse of old logs that have waited for a long time in the workshop of our client’s father, an additional patina and sentimental value was added.
What makes this project one-of-a-kind?
Flexibility of furniture and space. For example: special movable kitchen island that primarily serves as a storage and additional counter, can be used as a breakfast counter or altogether moved aside if additional space is needed in the dining area.
