Interior
of a generous apartment
Most developer apartments are built to a single, repeatable standard. But then there are apartments that work differently. Lofts, maisonettes, penthouses or large terrace apartments, where a standard solution no longer suffices. These atypical apartments demand an individual approach from the very moment the building is still under construction. It’s not just about the interior. It’s about the opportunity to reshape the very logic of the space — before construction is complete.
How we work with atypical apartments in residential developments
Generous apartments are often created as an exception within a standard residential development. They have different proportions, more light, views, or an atypical floor plan that calls for an individual solution. That’s why we aim to get involved in the project as early as possible. Early client modifications allow us to adjust the floor plan, spatial flow, technology, and materials — before the building is finished. The result isn’t just a “better-equipped apartment” — it’s an entirely different quality of space.
Why address the apartment interior before construction Is complete
The most important decisions are rarely made when choosing furniture — they happen much earlier. The placement of walls, the proportions of rooms, the handling of light, and the flow between functions all have a greater impact on the final space than any decoration. The biggest difference in the quality of an apartment often comes not from the choice of materials, but from altering the floor plan before construction is complete. That’s why we don’t see the interior as the final layer of a project. Quite the opposite — the architecture of the apartment, its floor plan, and its interior should all be developed together. That’s precisely where the biggest difference lies between a standard developer apartment and an individually designed space.
Client modifications as part of apartment architecture
For us, client modifications are not a technical adjustment to an off-the-shelf apartment. They are often the only opportunity to genuinely tailor a space to a specific way of living. For atypical apartments, this might mean working with large open-plan spaces, connecting the interior with a terrace, adding mezzanine galleries, or completely reorganising the floor plan. What matters is that the apartment doesn’t feel like a standard developer product upgraded with more expensive materials. We’re interested in creating a space that has its own identity and works naturally as a whole.
How to create an individual interior in a new building
A new building doesn’t have to mean anonymous living. Even within a residential development, it’s possible to create a space that is deeply personal and architecturally powerful. The strongest results rarely come from an abundance of decorations or striking features, but from a thoughtful approach to proportion, light, materials, and the calm of the space. That’s why we’re drawn to apartments that have the potential to work differently from the standard. And that’s why we approach the apartment interior as part of its architecture — not simply as furnishing a space.
What people ask about designing atypical apartment interiors
When to start thinking about the apartment interior in a residential development?
Ideally as early as possible — before construction is complete. This is the stage where client modifications can be addressed, the floor plan adjusted, and the quality of the final space genuinely influenced.
What are client modifications for an apartment?
Client modifications allow a standard developer apartment to be adapted to the individual needs of the client. This can include changes to the floor plan, materials, technology, or the spatial concept.
Is it worth working with an architect on a new build interior?
For atypical or generous apartments, usually yes. These apartments often offer a potential that a standard developer solution simply cannot unlock.
How to design the interior of a loft, maisonette or penthouse?
Lofts, maisonettes and penthouses often function more as spatial architecture than as a conventional apartment. What matters is the handling of height, open space, light, and the flow between individual functions.
How to create an individual apartment within a residential development?
The key is to address the floor plan and spatial architecture early — not wait until the interior decoration stage. Early interventions are often what determine the final quality of the living space.
How much does it cost to design a large apartment interior?
The cost depends on the size of the apartment, the scope of client modifications, and the level of detail required. That’s why every apartment is approached individually — according to its potential and the client’s way of life.
