A design direction for an apartment where every centimetre has a purpose: a kitchen built around daily cooking and a dressing room that keeps everything in its place.

The challenge

What the space needed.

Apartments often arrive with standard kitchens and shallow wardrobes that waste height and corners. The task is to plan storage first, then let materials and light make the space feel generous.

Design intent

How it should feel.

Travertine and walnut in a warm, tactile palette, with handle-free fronts, lit open shelving and concealed storage so surfaces stay calm.

Scope

What SOVA delivers.

  • Interior design and space planning
  • 3D views and material palette
  • Kitchen with island and tall units
  • Walk-in wardrobe and fitted wardrobes
  • Lighting and finishes coordination
  • Installation and snagging

Material palette

Chosen by hand.

  • Travertine
  • Walnut veneer

Spatial plan

How the plan works.

The kitchen is organised as a working island facing the living space, with tall units for ovens and pantry storage along one wall. The bedroom gives up a slice of space to a compact walk-in dressing room.
