APARTMENT INTERIORS 21 M2 TAMKA BY JAKUB SZCZESNY

A small apartment of only 21.5 m2 where highlight fun colors like green and purple.

Although this tiny apartment of 21.5 m2 may seem uninhabitable, has an excellent location (just 300 meters from the new bridge and overlooking the Royal Castle) and is ideal for a divorced man who uses it 3-4 times a week as a place to meet his son and occasionally to spend weekends. The design's goal was to get two windows (considered a luxury in a pretty small house). The bedroom is raised above the floor surface of about 110 cm, to provide in the space below, a washing machine. Being placed in front of the entrance door, the small window makes a visual axis that runs from the entrance area, through a bathroom to the bedroom. The bath had to be separated from the dormitory by using a fixed translucent barrier. The entrance area, is used by the owner's son as a playground space and the kid can run around the tub/column. The shortage of space forced to place the shower directly in the hallway. Due to space limitations, theres is not fixed dining room, the kitchen is equipped with a door that partially swivels to become a table for four. For other occasions, with the table closed the door serves as a visual partition that covers the bedroom.

Given the limited budget (around 6000 euros including equipment) and a short implementation period, the materials used are very simple, such as oil-painted plywood, drywall and oil paint in the shower. The same bright green paint was used in the bedroom platform, and on the ground all over the floor.
