Apartment in a modernist building from the 1950s

The apartment is located in a modernist building from the late 1950s at Dunajecka street in Warsaw. The restaurant belongs to a couple of graphic designers who fell in love with the building and its architecture from the very first moment. This had a direct impact on the interior design, for which Anna Białobrzewska from the IN architekci studio is responsible.

The architect decided to refer to the unique, modernist style of the building with the arrangement of the interior. The main goal of the project was the use of natural materials.

The basic change in the layout of the apartment was the relocation of the kitchen and connecting it with the living room. The space was filled with veneered furniture, which provided a large amount of storage space, but at the same time did not dominate the interior. Terrazzo on the tops and window sills is a reference to the materials appearing in the staircase. The uniqueness of the arrangement was made by the openwork bookcase located between the living room and the corridor, which separates the space and illuminates the entrance area.

An equally important element of the entrance area is the rounded wardrobe finished with paneling. The detail of the arch is not accidental, as the facade of the building takes on this form in two gables.

The heart of the living room is the Innovation Living sofa with a warm, ginger shade. Above the sofa was a pixodelic studio painting by Sainer Etam, the apartment owners' favorite artist. The dominant color in the work of green is a recurring theme in the interior, which also appears on the building's facade. The chairs from mdd office standing between the kitchen and the living room have a simple shape resembling office furniture. However, they find themselves perfectly in a space that captivates with natural materials and colors. The dining table from G-plan and posters by Iwona Martynowska are also eye-catching.

The bedroom is extremely sober and minimalist. The room is only equipped with a white wardrobe, a simple bed and a poster "Museum of Housing Estates" by the owner of the apartment.

In the arrangement of the bathroom, the key role is played by simple, green tiles on the walls and a black terrazzo floor.
