An oasis of peace

Located in a complex of new buildings, in the Barbu Vacarescu area, Bucharest, Jooca Studio designed an apartment for a family that wanted a modern and elegant space.

The floor plan of the apartment made it possible to create a lot of storage spaces, treated as neutral as possible, so that they do not stand out and appear oppressive such as those the wardrobes in the entrance. The apartment opens onto a generous bright living room, from where you can also glimpse the kitchen with the dining area, visually separated by a metal panel. The predominant neutral tones are sweetened by the shades of blue and pink, which we find on the sofa and armchair. While the dynamics is given by the black metal inserts that dominate the interior design of this space. They can be found in decorative elements, lighting fixtures, or even furniture. For example, the graphic composition on the wall with the bookcase is made of thin metal plate, electrostatically painted - this is the point of interest of the room. From the living room you can access the small and closed terrace of which one part is dedicated to the office area. The fact that it is separated from the living room helps to create that atmosphere of intimacy so necessary for a workspace.

The dining table is centrally positioned in the kitchen area. This led to the idea of symmetry, which we can see in the storage units here. The gray fronts of the suspended bodies are combined with the wood texture, on the low ones. To give the area a modern and urban air, the design team used aluminum sheet for the backsplash and the black frame for the huge window that lights up the room, completes the design. The delicate touches of pink are taken up by the velvet dining chairs. An element to note is the lamp hanging on a thin double thread above the dining table: composed of a circle and a line, it perfectly follows the metal accents of the design, giving a certain liveliness to the environment.

The design of the bedroom is thought in warm and bright shades. Here, the space allowed the creation of several storage units, as well as a small dressing table. The dressing table next to the bed has fronts with a metal frame and sandblasted smoked glass. While the headboard is made of painted and milled mdf (medium density fiberboard. Following the dynamic design of the whole house, a black chandelier hanging on one side and a twopiece mirror on the other side, form and break the scheme of the room at the same time. Furthermore, the design objects placed on the bedside tables give a very sophisticated atmosphere to the room.
