Two floors in an apartment block were combined and interconnected to form a duplex for a family of four. This apartment showcases a perfect amalgamation of old and new in many aspects. The owners’ collection of beautifully crafted furniture was used as accent pieces, while the shell and the supporting furniture were kept muted and straight lined.
The newly introduced connecting element, the metal and wood staircase, supported on one side only, was designed as a sleek yet intricate sculptural element. Carefully placed lights created a dramatic play of light, shade and shadow reflecting the rich, warm, cozy palette.
