The flat is 100 sq m and was created as a second home for a family of four. Its location in Gdańsk makes it a place where they like to spend time during holidays and weekend getaways. Behind the design of the original interior is Aneta Bańkowska Karteczka from the Indesign studio, who has succeeded in creating a soothing asylum.
The idea of creating this interior was to combine hotel comfort with an artistic spirit. The main objective was to design a space that would simultaneously serve as an asylum and a source of inspiration. The designer focused on close collaboration with her clients, which resulted in an interior tailored to their needs.
Redesign
The comprehensive remodelling of the flat included a change in the functional layout. The spacious flat gained a completely new dynamic – the unusual solution of a hidden bedroom behind a huge glass door created an amphitheatre layout leading to a private bathroom. The bathroom next to the master bedroom was conceived in such a way that the residents can admire the expansive landscape of Gdansk from the relaxing bathtub. Electrically controlled curtains and partial glazing allow for a discreet separation of the space, and the colour-integrated graphic by Nikodem Szpunar, placed on a veneered wall, adds an artistic touch to the interior.
The heart of the home
The fully equipped kitchen, maintained in a light and modern style, impresses with its high lacquered cabinetry, which discreetly hides such items as the fridge, oven and induction hob. With beige accents and a Taj Machal quartz worktop, the kitchen forms a harmonious whole. The decision to omit upper cabinets emphasises its light character, while additional details – a wine fridge and decorative shelves for ceramics – highlight the attention to detail.
The living room is a spacious area dedicated to spending time together. It is a place that invites you to watch movies from the projector or relax by the bio-fireplace built into an elegant cabinet. The main wall serves as the home’s art gallery, showcasing works by prominent Polish artists such as Dorota Buczkowska, Weronika Braun, Dorota Pawiłowska or Monika Janus, which gives the space a unique, cultural atmosphere.
Private asylum
The bedroom was designed as an intimate, hidden haven, separated from the rest of the flat by a glass door. Its atypical amphitheatre layout leads to an exclusive private bathroom, which on the one hand combines comfort with functionality, and on the other allows one to admire the panorama of Gdańsk.
The second bathroom is intended for children. It is a less formal space, but equally thoughtful. Functionality and ease of cleaning go hand in hand here with an aesthetic that effortlessly finds its way into the rest of the flat.
The teenagers’ rooms have been designed to reflect their interests and personalities. Each of these rooms, which are a kind of kingdom of adolescent imagination, has been arranged in such a way as not to overshadow the beautiful cliff view from the windows. This provides the children with the perfect backdrop, conducive to both learning and play.
The interior design places great emphasis on the use of natural materials. The veneer used in the bedroom furniture – beech veneer – is a demanding material, but one of extraordinary beauty, alluding to the colour and texture of dried wood swept up by the sea. In addition, the beautiful oak veneer wall above the bath provides a backdrop for the artistic experience, creating a coherent, harmonious space.
