The apartment is located on the upper floor of a newly built multi-apartment building near the center of Ljubljana.
The interior project began during the construction of the building, when the architects were given the task of redesigning the planned floor plan of the apartment, so that it would best serve the needs of the client and her daughter.
The task did not allow for too many deviations from the already planned installation positions, even the floors were already determined in advance - there was only a choice between A and B.
The original floor plan already basically envisaged the possibility of two rooms - a bedroom and a children's room, but it did not make the best use of light (which is limited and one-directional), and with the position of the second room it created a longer additional hallway, the proportion of which was significantly too large in relation to the total area of the apartment.
The newly designed floor plan thus envisaged the central placement of the living room, where there are also full-height windows . The rooms are positioned on the sides, both with balcony access. The living room is enlarged at the expense of part of the bedroom, and part of the hallway is partially transformed into a dining room. Next to the installation shaft, a large enough space is created for a bigger kitchen - one of the client's wishes.
A wall of mirrors was designed to visually enlarge the space, reflect light from the opposite wall and thus create the feeling as if the space is glazed on the other side as well. They also provide a visual connection between the person in the kitchen facing away from the person in the living room.
The checkedred motif was repeated on the wardrobe in the bedroom, but this time with a play of veneer. By interweaving different veneers, materials, colors and repeating the checkered element, a distinct character of the apaertment was created, connecting the spaces and reflecting the playfulness of the young residents.
Except for a few pieces, such as the sofa, chairs and lamps, most of the furniture is bespoke. Even the metal elements, such as the chrome base of the dining table and the ladder attached to the children's bed (the bed is raised, with wardrobes underneath).
The raised bed, or rather the interweaving of two different veneers on it, is the main connection between the two rooms, which were divided by the depth of the bespoke green shelving. That, and the illustration by the local artist Izar Lunaček.
