ZIKMUNDOVA Attic apartment interior
The 198 m² apartment was created as an attic conversion in a 1930s residential building. The layout had already been defined by the developer, so we did not focus on major floor plan changes but on the interior itself. Our task was to design a home that would work as one coherent whole – from the kitchen and wine cellar to the custom-made furniture in the bedrooms and entrance hall.
The entire interior is unified by dark oak flooring, white walls, concrete-effect finishes, and raw steel. Steel structures became the main motif of the design. They appear in the wine storage, bookcases, shelving, and custom-made furniture, giving the apartment a distinctive character without relying on unnecessary decoration. The result is an interior that was conceived as a complete composition rather than a collection of individual rooms.
A wine rack instead of decoration
The kitchen is designed as part of the main living space. White handleless cabinetry extends all the way to the ceiling and is complemented by slender steel structures carrying upper cabinets and open shelving. The kitchen is connected to a bar, a bookcase, and a generous wine cellar built into the sloped roof niche.
The wine cellar is not a hidden accessory tucked away in a corner. It forms part of the main composition of the apartment. Thanks to integrated cooling, it is suitable for wine storage, while its lighting becomes a key feature of the dining area. The kitchen, dining room, and wine cellar work together as one connected space.
Steel, oak, and fine wine
The living room and dining area flow seamlessly from the kitchen without unnecessary divisions. A large custom-made dining table combines black steel with light oak veneer. The same principle is repeated in the coffee table and other bespoke elements throughout the interior.
Technical systems were concealed wherever possible. Cooling is integrated into built-in wall niches and blends into the architecture. Instead of visible technology, the focus remains on materials, custom furniture, and the open space beneath the roof.
A bedroom built into the wall
In the main bedroom, most of the furniture is incorporated into a single full-length custom wardrobe. The large white surface is broken up by milled handles and a narrow bookcase inserted between individual modules.
The headboard is made from metal laminate and paired with asymmetrical bedside tables and indirect lighting. Rather than filling the room with freestanding furniture, we created a clean and compact space where every element has a purpose.
Concrete takes the lead
The bathrooms combine large-format concrete-effect tiles with contrasting lighter and darker surfaces. A built-in bathtub, a smoked-glass shower enclosure, and black steel frames continue the material palette used throughout the apartment.
The same approach extends to the separate WC, where concrete surfaces, steel shelving, and a stone basin mounted on a slender black steel structure create a consistent visual language. Simplicity of materials and attention to detail define every bathroom.
A first impression in steel
The entrance hall introduces the main idea of the interior immediately after opening the door. The wardrobe, bench, and shoe storage are all part of a bespoke structure made from raw steel with exposed welds. Veneered elements and a large mirror visually enlarge and lighten the space.
From the very first step inside, the principles of the project become clear. Steel, oak, concrete finishes, and custom-made furniture appear throughout the apartment, creating a cohesive interior from the entrance hall to the smallest detail.
Why do we love interiors?
Simplicity was the key principle behind the entire interior design. We made no attempt to redraw the space or layer it with new additions. And that is precisely why it feels light and airy. We take a similar approach across our other projects. Take a look at how we handle other INTERIORS.
