Cortina 126 Apartment

The apartment is shaped around a warm, contemporary palette, with a focus on continuity, custom-made furniture and a few carefully chosen accents. The living room and kitchen are treated as one coherent space, where walnut finishes, soft off-white tones and light oak flooring create a calm and balanced background.

A large part of the furniture was designed specifically for the apartment. Rounded corners and softened edges appear throughout the cabinetry, helping the volumes feel less rigid and giving the interior a more fluid character. In the living area, the TV wall combines walnut panelling with suspended storage and an integrated desk, while open shelving elements frame the composition and add depth without making the room feel heavy.

The kitchen continues the same material language. Walnut fronts are paired with light cabinetry and a white worktop, while the island becomes both a practical workspace and the main social point of the room. Its extended dining table is wrapped around a mirrored volume, visually reducing its presence and reflecting the surrounding space. The warm bronze finish of the suspended hood and the rust-coloured dining chairs introduce a stronger accent into an otherwise neutral interior.

Lighting plays an important role in defining the atmosphere. Indirect LED lines follow the perimeter of the ceiling and highlight the curved architectural details, while integrated lighting within the furniture brings out the texture of the wood and plaster finishes. Rather than relying on decorative fixtures, the lighting is mostly concealed and used to emphasise surfaces and proportions.

The overall approach is restrained but not minimal. Textured walls, natural wood, warm metallic finishes, soft upholstery and amber glass bring tactility to the space, while the limited colour palette keeps the apartment visually calm. The result is a comfortable interior with a contemporary character, designed around everyday use rather than decorative excess.
