square meter: 25.6 m2 ✕
designer and visualizer: Barinov Andrey
In Moscow, Russia, a 25.6 square meter apartment showcases how compact living can still be brimming with creativity and functionality. Despite its size, this space cleverly utilizes high ceilings to incorporate a mezzanine for the bedroom, while downstairs hosts a cozy kitchen-diner area and a snug lounge.
A single slouchy seat invites relaxation, doubling as a cozy reading nook. Storage solutions blend seamlessly into the design, with closets cleverly housing a bookcase and potential headphone stand, keeping the lounge area tidy and inviting.
The dining area, though petite, is stylishly appointed with a modern table for two and chic chairs, complemented by a simple yet elegant centerpiece. Meanwhile, the entryway, with ample storage options and a bench, not only serves a practical function but also enhances the feeling of space in the living room.
Glass blocks delineate the bathroom, adding texture and light to the minimalist aesthetic. The kitchen, with its dark wood finish, creates depth and warmth, harmonizing with the terrazzo floor tiles. In the bathroom, sleek fixtures and ample storage contribute to a modern and efficient space.
A spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine bedroom, where translucent doors and inner light boxes turn wardrobe contents into bedroom decor. With privacy curtains adding a cozy touch, this compact apartment showcases how thoughtful design can transform limited space into a stylish and comfortable haven.
