A 200-square-metre, two-storey flat in Sady Żoliborskie is the latest development by architects from the Architektura Mijo studio. The first level consists of a living room with a conservatory, a kitchen with a dining area and a bathroom. On the second level of the flat, there is a bedroom with wardrobe and bathroom, a study, a large bathroom and a children’s room
The connecting element between all these functions is a centrally located, multifunctional shaft. From the outside, the core is divided into zones, depending on the part of the flat in which it is located. From the entrance hall it houses seating, from the dining room shelves. From the kitchen, fridges, wine fridge, built-in coffee machine and storage cupboards. On the other hand, inside the shaft there are utility cupboards and a wardrobe.
Despite being a second-floor flat, there is a fireplace in the living room. The fireplace wall is clad in stone. On the opposite side is the gable wall of the property, which runs at a slant. The slant of the wall was leveled by encasing it with a veneered book shelf. The development of varying depths took the form of ‘gills’.
The materials used for the interior finishes are mainly natural wood, stone, glass and veneers. The finishing elements were supplied by: stone walls and worktops: i-mar Przedsiębiorstwo Kamieniarskie; supplier of furnishings, including lighting: Internity, Aquaform; wallpaper: Cole_and Son; furniture: Noti, Euforma, hoom.co
