When we first entered this apartment in Sopot, we found quite a dark and divided space. There were many doors inside, most of them walled up on one side, or empty openings left by old passages.

Investors asked us for a bright, open and elegant space. The first step was functional layout with a new divisions, demolition of some walls, new location of kitchen and bathroom, as well as ideas for the use of existing door openings. The reconstruction was thorough and also included screed, heating, plaster and window joinery.

We solved the problem of the lack of natural light in the interior by replacing, and where possible by enlarging, windows using narrow-profile joinery. In addition, we enlarged the internal openings and added fanlights above the door to let the light penetrate previously dark corridor and bathroom.

To meet the expectations of customers, we created a bright and classic space, and we gave the whole uniqueness in the way of treating materials. Especially for this interior, we have designed many individual details, furniture, handles, door joinery. We took care of the appropriate finish of the stone, the method of milling, painting and staining the wood, as well as the color of the patina on the brass. As a result, we received a very harmonious and at the same time delightful interior.
