The KMZ Apartment reconstruction meant foremost a radical intervention into the flat's layout. For a young couple, who's life no longer takes place in front of the TV, the space of a working-living kitchen becomes dominant. The rest of the apartment unfolds from a large table and the chandelier in the center of this large, light-filled space. It's longest wall is dominated by a colorful wall printed rooster. Simplicity and elegance of the kitchen right below reminds of living room cabinets. Behind the interactive shelf wall on the opposite side lies the bedroom.

The atmosphere of a flat is more than by its layout defined by the combination of colors and materials. Here the contrast of simple inexpensive solutions and pieces of refined design makes the trick. The original masonry painted white is cut at it's base to float above the large-format wooden floor interconnecting the whole flat.

The exclusive kitchen rises from the floor in contrast to the simple bookcase of white shelves opposite. The large dining table made of water-resistant plywood is surrounded by a colorful flock of design chairs. The entrance to the mostly white interior is eaten by a brown-black wardrobe block. Strictly monochromatic bathroom is lit through a colorfully printed vertical skylight.
