In this expansive 600m2 apartment, we've designed an integrated floor plan featuring large, functional rooms. The elegant monochromatic color palette enhances the ambiance, while the textured coverings add warmth and comfort to the space. The standout feature is the bar enclosed in a beautiful European oak box, which catches the eye upon entering the spacious living room. To complement the architectural style characterized by exposed concrete, we used coverings inspired by the modernist movement, such as the hydraulic tile flooring in the kitchen.
