Nice: Merging Two Apartments into One
The Challenge: Combining two separate units to create a single, expansive family apartment. The primary focus was completely redesigning the circulation to establish a vast, open-plan living area that seamlessly integrates the lounge, dining space, and a modern kitchen.
Key Transformation Highlights:
The Living Space: A fluid central area uniting the living room, dining room, and kitchen, flooded with natural light from the running balcony.
Structural Modernization: The original arch was transformed into a clean, rectilinear opening, creating geometric harmony with the lines of the glass partition.
Spatial Optimization: The former enclosed kitchen was converted into a large, highly functional laundry room with an adjoining walk-in closet.
The Home Office: A bright library nook set behind an industrial-style glass partition, created within what was previously a dark storage room.

The creation of this workspace was the biggest surprise of the project. Initially, this location was occupied by a dark, impractical closet—a remnant of the entryway from the second merged apartment.
A Tailor-Made Remote Work Solution:
Working from home three days a week, the client had not imagined it would be possible to integrate a true dedicated office into the new living space. By clearing out the old closet, we reclaimed a strategic volume to create a home office and library nook that:
Preserves the View: Thanks to the glass partition, the office benefits from abundant natural light and the apartment’s magnificent unobstructed view.
Separates Without Isolating: The industrial-style glass wall delineates a quiet zone for focus while maintaining a seamless connection to the living room.
Conceals with Elegance: The lower cabinetry of the custom joinery neatly hides files and computer equipment, ensuring the living room remains clutter-free.
What was once a mere transit zone has become the client's favorite spot: an inspiring workspace perfectly aligned with the apartment’s new, clean-lined geometry.
