Apartment Č, located on the ground floor of a newly designed apartment building, is designed within a two-height volume that defines its spatial logic. The main design premise was to place the two-room apartment in a distinctly vertical space, with the living room affirmed as the central volume and spatial accent.

Around this strong center, functions are arranged – the kitchen, rooms and a gallery that serves as a library and intimate reading space. The gallery space floats within the volume and allows for visual cross-sections and a layered experience of the space.

The materiality of the apartment is profiled through the encounter of contrasts: wood and stainless steel, warm and cold, soft and hard, monumental and textural. The wooden floor and tall wooden totem bring tactility and vertically define the space, while the blue curtain, which follows the height of the totem, brings the necessary softness and fluidity.

The kitchen is located under the gallery, compactly organized, with a dominant island made entirely of stainless steel – cold, precise and industrial in character. The rooms are ascetically designed, purified of excess content, treated as intimate bedrooms. The living room, around which all functions are organically organized, acts as an internal “square” – a semi-public space of the apartment, a place of meeting and circulation, a kind of energy center of the home.
