It was not easy to conjure this oblong-shaped, one-storey, former garage into a sunny, creative apartment. After all, with the help of metal framed, glass doors and lots of creative ideas has been managed to be done and last but not least, a car as well has its place.
After the actually used space for a garage, there is the kitchen. Around the dining table that was elegantly treated from assembled wooden slats we can see wooden chairs, which live their second use and from which some of them thrown up with worn blue or yellow paint. The illumination is given by a huge, enamel hall lamp and table lamps mounted on hanging structure.
Against the more traditional, in black-and-white contrast appearing kitchen vintage chests serve as extra stools. Beside it a snow white, leather armchair that evokes the style of the Victorian age represents the classic line.
The light grey walls of the next room are decorated with fine arts creations, tarnished trophies and turtle armors. To the strange decoration fits surprisingly well the leather sofa set. With the small-sized coffee table are harmonizing the retro armchairs. The worn lightness of the antique carpet provides an appropriate framework for the emphasized pieces. The uniqueness of the intimate wall lamps and reading lamps are also noteworthy.
The office formed in the corner was organized around an Empire styled desk. The antique atmosphere is highlight by the old cameras that can be seen on the shelves.
In the bedroom in front of a worn wall we can see cinema chairs. The headboard of the double-bed was designed from a slung, leather mattress. In the masculine style of the interior fits well the metal reading lamps as well.
The wonderful piece of the black and white bathroom is the sink transformed from the long-ago mangle table. Beside the sturdy furniture the simple black bath also looks elegant.
On a small, open terrace we can see a metal table that once was shining in turquoise blue color and on its top with potted flowers. To the furnishing of the whole apartment is characteristic the light, playful style, with which the industrial atmosphere was endowed by the designers with distinctive atmosphere.
