The duplex apartment in the historical centre is a result of merging two flats one above the other. The building went through a radical reconstruction in the past; after removing a plasterboard ceiling we discovered a rough concrete ceiling which we decided not to hide in the interior.

From the architect: This has resulted in a contrast among historical details, such as profiles, veneer around and rough concrete. The entire interior is toned in monochromatic colours with subtle brass accents.

Layout On the bottom, entrance floor, we see a living room, a guest room and facilities situated, whereas a kitchen, a dining room and a private bedroom are located on the upper floor. A separate bathroom is situated on each floor.

Living room – It is the largest room of the whole flat, facing the street. Its oriel is used for a built-in seating, complementing a sofa. The middle of the room is intersected with a staircase to the kitchen upstairs. This is how an optical partition is created for a home office. Both opposite walls are fitted with huge, steel libraries which, in their bottom sections, are complemented with marble, closable cabinets.

Staircase – It is a suspended steel structure, levitating over the bottom floor, whereas the first steps are, by contrast, made of massive brickwork.  Its bearing bannister is mounted to the concrete ceiling.

Kitchen – A glass partition separates it from the staircase. The whole room, including its furniture and marble floor, has been designed in light colours. A cooking island continues in a wide dining table with an extraordinary metal base which can be traced through the table top.

Bathrooms – A black and white combination consisting of marble and black mosaic. All the furniture is tailor-made, with a tiny steel structure and embedded cabinets. The steel frame is supplemented with details, such as grates and toilet paper holders.
