Transforming an industrial space to apartments is always a challenging task. The architectural design, the operation of building permits along with the technical and construction needs, require expertise and advanced know-how. HYBRID_ONE ‘s little brother is located at the same building and was just completed at the first days of 2020. The design team decided to split the space into 4 loft-like apartments, which have a surface of 40 to 55sqm and are consisted of a living room area, kitchen, sleeping area and a bathroom.
The designing philosophy was based on the three F‘s of Architecture –Form Follows Function-. Reflecting the previous, we created spaces with ergonomic specifications, making the most out of the available space. As the main windows were located at the front and back of the building, the apartments were configured according to the demand for natural light and ventilation. The bathrooms were placed at the back side of every apartment.
The interior design follows clean-cut lines and vibrant shades. The selected color palette and textures give to the whole floor a unified aesthetic. The goal of space planning was to create efficiency. Granite tiles of various dimensions and textures were selected for the floors.
All apartments are equipped with new electrical and plumbing installations, individual heating and cooling systems(Daikin heat pumps), shielded entry doors and new PVC window frames with dual energy glass panels.
