Each measuring up at just under 60 square metres, this collection of apartment designs offer inspiration for three quite different interior aesthetics. Our first tour takes place in a simple and airy home, where furniture is kept minimal and an open connection is established via a glass wall bedroom off the tasteful living space. Our second residential property is a comfy, cosily sophisticated studio apartment with a focus on textural layers and homey warmth. Our final visit takes us to a super suave home, which features a stunning custom wood slat statement wall with LED light feature. Floor plans are included at the end of each tour for your inspiration.
Our first home tour brings us to a reconstructed tenement building in the center of Saint Petersburg, Russia, near New Holland Island. Horizontal color blocking holds together an airy 58 square metre minimalist interior with a sparing collection of mid century modern furniture. A small rug hugs close to the tufted sofa, leaving the majority of concrete floor space laid bare.
