A cozy apartment

The apartment is located in the intimate residential complex known as Perfumiarnia, situated in the heart of Poznań's Łazarz district, a neighborhood with a history dating back to the 16th century. The Art Nouveau tenement houses along Matejki Street, one of the main thoroughfares in Łazarz, evoke the charm of Paris. The apartment's windows offer a view of Wilson Park and the picturesque street.

The unique location and the surrounding stately tenement houses inspired the interior design, which blends traditional materials with high-quality craftsmanship. The investors' connection to Mediterranean culture and nature also greatly influenced the arrangement, celebrating light, meals, and relaxation.

The apartment was created by combining two smaller flats, which allowed for the division of the space into a day zone and a night zone, connected by a meandering corridor lined with oak cladding crafted from a single trunk. The pattern of the oak grain flows seamlessly throughout the walls, room-high doors, and wardrobe fronts, creating a stunning visual composition. In contrast, a recess lined with Calacatta marble features a lamp of Spanish origin as a striking accent.

The living area is divided into a dining room adjacent to the kitchen and a relaxation area. Large windows provide a view of the treetops, while curtains made of stone-crushed linen block excess sunlight. The centerpiece of this part of the apartment is a spacious kitchen island, perfect for both cooking and socializing over a glass of wine.

The oak-clad recess shapes the kitchen, providing additional storage and a built-in filtered water dispenser.

A large oak table commands attention in the dining room, warmed by a Ligne Roset carpet with abstract patterns in natural tones.

Across the room, the relaxation area invites connection with its iconic sofas and a bookcase filled with family treasures. This intimate space fosters conversations, movie nights, and togetherness, creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.

In the night zone, the challenge of adapting the building's installation led to a magnificent bathroom overlooking Wilson Park, with the bathtub offering a tranquil view. A glass wall framed in brass separates the bathroom from the bedroom, while a linen curtain ensures privacy. Vertical mosaic strips adorn the bathroom wall, contrasting with the bold washbasin where the stone pattern flows seamlessly. Throughout the apartment, a thoughtfully curated selection of materials—stone and oak—along with a calming color palette, fosters relaxation and serenity for its inhabitants.
