In the midst of Warsaw's bustling Bielany district, a 120-square-meter flat designed by architect Weronika Budzichowska of To Be Design stands out as a serene oasis. With its emphasis on natural materials, subdued colors, and breathtaking views from the windows, this haven is the perfect retreat for a family of four who value quality time together.
Situated on the top floor of a building, the flat offers a stunning panorama of the surrounding neighborhood and the city itself, making it an ideal location for the family who wanted to stay in the area. The interior design was carefully crafted to reflect the family's love for coziness, comfort, and functionality.
Weronika Budzichowska, the architect behind the design, aimed to create a friendly and comfortable living space that would cater to the needs of Magda, Grzegorz, their two children, and their cat, Gacek. The use of natural materials such as wood, linen, and stone adds warmth and texture to the space, while the muted color palette ensures a sense of calm and serenity.
The flat's layout is carefully divided into two children's rooms, a bedroom, two bathrooms, and a spacious common area that includes a living room, kitchen, and dining area. The open-plan kitchen allows for effortless interaction and collaboration, making it the heart of the home. The absence of a TV in the living room is a deliberate design choice, encouraging family members to engage in quality time together, whether it's reading, playing board games, or simply enjoying each other's company.
Throughout the flat, functional solutions abound, from the ergonomic workspace to the clever storage areas that maintain tidiness. One of the most unique features is the design of the bathroom door, which was adapted to accommodate Gacek the cat's needs. The designer's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the flat, from the oak herringbone floor to the linen curtains that softly diffuse the daylight.
As Weronika Budzichowska notes, her favorite part of the flat is the living room with the kitchen, where the family can come together and create lasting memories. With its perfect blend of style, comfort, and functionality, this cozy retreat in the heart of Warsaw is a true haven for its inhabitants.
