Striker

Striker is an apartment interior design project in the Japandi style (Japanese-Scandinavian minimalism) for two people in Warsaw. A key design feature is the non-standard wall configuration: one of the walls is set at an 8-degree angle.

We reworked the original developer’s layout to maximize the living area and create several functional home office spaces, including a fully-fledged study.

A key challenge in this project was the angled wall, which presented a significant obstacle to the layout and spatial arrangement.

Despite this, we devised an optimal solution that maximized the use of the apartment’s area and met all of the client’s requirements.

We reworked the original developer’s layout to maximize the living area and create several functional home office spaces, including a fully-fledged study.

This solution also eliminated unnecessary corridors, creating a unified living-kitchen space with visual separation.

The client’s lifestyle does not involve extensive cooking, so our team prioritized creating a compact yet inviting and practical kitchen space.

The wooden kitchen units are placed along the window wall, with the dining chairs and table tucked into a niche, fostering a sense of intimacy during mealtimes.

The main focal point of the apartment is a cabinet with ambient lighting. Designed to stop short of the ceiling, it resembles a large frosted glass cube and creates a unique lighting effect.

Functionally, it houses a refrigerator, appliances, and extra storage space, while a glass cabinet stands opposite.

A highlight of this project is the diverse, non-standard lighting, most notably the curved neon fixture in the primary bedroom, which creates the illusion of cascading down the walls from the ceiling.

A priority for the project was to create several comfortable working area, one of which is located in this room.

The wardrobe is multi-functional, serving both as storage and a visual partition, defining distinct areas within the room.

To ensure sufficient lighting for the workspace, we added a fluted partition near the wall.

With only one small window in the bedroom, we are using a translucent fluted partition to connect the bedroom and study, maximizing the natural light.

The study is designed as a fully-fledged comfortable home office, offering both storage solutions and a small lounge area. Its design prioritizes future flexibility, allowing for easy conversion into a children’s room.

The minimalist bathroom is well-lit thanks to a window. To visually enlarge the space, our team used light shades of finishing materials. The bathroom walls are clad in minimalist elongated white tiles, the same as those used on the kitchen backsplash to maintain the overall design concept.

The apartment was designed with a focus on enduring modern design principles. The Japandi style is perfectly suited for crafting timeless and inviting living spaces. While not the first project we’ve completed in this style, Striker is undoubtedly the most compelling.
