It has 56 sq m. The Gdańsk flat is an example of a minimalist but warm interior. Its design was prepared by Paula Pachut of the Yop Design studio. The premises are located in a pre-war building, which made it possible to create an original atmosphere.
The flat is located in the oldest part of Wrzeszcz Dolny. It was inhabited by a couple who wanted to surround themselves in a modern interior with the spirit of years gone by. The project involved an extensive refurbishment of the technical facilities and a change in the functional layout to make the space bright and comfortable.
The Gdansk flat is located in a pre-war building and had a layout typical of the 1930s. The designer decided to make changes that meet the contemporary needs of the tenants.
The entrance area and the kitchen were opened up to the living room, which made it possible to visually enlarge the space and give it breath. In the second part of the flat, a bedroom was separated with a comfortable work area. The desk corner discreetly smuggles daylight into the living room through the use of fluted glass in the narrow wall connecting the two rooms. It is a detail, but one that is of great importance here. Such a treatment has given the workspace a boost of energy. In addition, the use of louvres on a felt backing has a positive effect on acoustics and working comfort.
Another noteworthy detail are the handles from the inter-war period. Together with the doors, these have been restored and retain their original character. As a tribute to the history of the place, the original wooden floor and the bricks decorating the wall in the bedroom have also been left in place.
The entire space is kept in cosy, subdued and bright tones. Beiges and wood have been subtly broken with black accents in the form of tables, accessories and the glass frame.
These treatments have made the flat comfortable for both occupants. The investors wanted a warm atmosphere with a masculine touch. Thanks to the owners’ openness, commitment and fruitful cooperation with the architect, we managed to work out a solution that logistically and visually fully meets expectations,” explains Paula Pachut.
The spatial solutions applied, the conscious reference to the past and the use of natural materials make the flat a functional, but also characterful place to live, which pleases the eye and is conducive to daily relaxation.
