Privatus gyvenamasis 2016 Nr. 145

English:

As the apartment was not intended to be a permanent residence, the interior had to represent a sense of freedom. Heading downtown in sneakers, getting away from obligations and a fast-paced work rhythm... Planning this place had nothing to do with spacious storage areas, neither in kitchen nor in the wardrobe.The bedroom is furnished with nightstands and a dresser, designed to resemble the stack of sun-lightened and rain-showered planks – to take you to an idle place, not to be found by anybody. The massive bed-head serves as a wall to make you feel perfectly safe. The dark red colour palette was picked for the furniture with intention to create a relaxing environment – the kind of relaxation that can be compared to an unfinished glass of wine. On the right, the cut-out double door to the wardrobe is finished with handles that seem to be torn off from the same plane. The bathroom space revolves around wild nature tones – the shower is covered with old natural wood planks, and the massive coarse stone is turned into the washer – to remind that every single morning is sacred...The kitchen is designed to create a vintage workshop mood, with steam collector and additional light source hidden in-between the pipes. Electricity wiring tubes installed on the walls and ceiling shape into a unique graphic image. A concrete island occupies the kitchen centre. Concrete was chosen regardless of its trendiness, in order to serve as a lever for the massive tabletop placed on its edge – made from the repurposed wooden roofing material from Klaipėda region, strong enough to allow sitting on its hanging part. The island as well befits the cast concrete ceiling throughout the apartment. In the living room, the cast ceramics book panneau hides the folding bed for guests.The door with an interior frame was chosen as a tribute to a traditional Old Town house.
