Interior Design
Studio Apartment, Palolem, Goa

Converting an apartment space of 40 square metres of floor area (430 sq.ft) into a 60 square meter (around 650 sq.ft) studio apartment home (with an additional mezzanine floor) has much more to offer than a conventional interior decoration project.

​

Our simple approach to designing a studio apartment is to create a functional layout with a unifying design layer and to make sure the client (a senior academician) gets the maximum output from the space, expressing its maximum potential.

​

The mezzanine area is a private space with a sliding panel which resembles a Japanese Shoji screen, which is translucent and typically acts as a privacy screen, which defines the bed space behind that. The existing RCC toilet slab is used as an elevated bed space on the mezzanine. All the lights are warm / reflecting on the ceiling (except the reading lights) and all the lighting and electrical works are smartly integrated with the additional steel structure we’re proposing.

​

The existing kitchen is redesigned with an island counter serving as a dining space as well as a preparation area. This results in an efficient utilization of the available space within the compact apartment.
