Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Nero is a renovation design project, that aims to meet the needs of a young couple. This is reflected in both design and functionality. Customers wanted a modern-looking interior with the ability to reflect their passion for collecting art objects. The general atmosphere is meant to highlight the appetite for a luxurious way of life of the clients.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration came from modern eclectic interiors. The important point was to fit the preferences of the residents into the current design trends. Analysis of the existing situation of the apartment and the desire to take into account the personality and needs of the clients, as well as to reflect their way of life have become decisive factors in the formation of the interior.
- Research
- The challenge was to meet the needs of a young couple starting from an old-fashioned existing apartment . The design process started from the analysis of their needs and preferences, their way of life as well as the existing situation of the apartment, which is important to understand, for a further reconfiguration. The new apartment is the result of the merge between a 1 room apartment and a larger 2 rooms apartment unit. The decision was made to functionally reconfigure the space, by demolishing existing walls and building new compartments as needed.
- Challenge
- From a creative point of view, the challenge was to find an answer to all the clients requirements. The clients are a young couple who wanted the apartment to reflect their preferences and correspond to their way of life. For them it was important that a large area of the apartment should be intended for the wardrobe because the future owner is a true fashionista, as well as to contain a visible area for the exhibition of their art collection.
- Realization and Technology
- In making the design, the decision was made to make visible the structure of the ceiling by removing the plasterboard that covered it. Due to this fact, a considerable increase in the height of the interior space in the living area was obtained. It was also decided to incorporate the existing disturbing columns inside the furniture or some special structures. In terms of materials, the design can be considered minimalist. Almost all the walls are finished by painting, except for the accent walls, covered with ceramic tiles or bronze metallic tiles. Ceilings and floors are finished with different types of wood.
- Operation and Interaction
- From a functional point of view, the apartment was divided into two large areas, the parents area, in place of the larger two room apartment and the childs area reconfigured from the smaller unit, which can be accessed separately from the main entrance hall.
- Project Duration and Location
- The design plahse of the project started in december 2021 and at the moment is at the development stage. The apartment is located in Chisinau, Moldova.
- Specifications
- Gross built area : 260 m2 The project space is formed by joining two smaller apartments, that can be accessed separately from the main entrance.
