Brief
The brief asked for an apartment that could hold focused work, informal hosting, and daily rest without feeling like three competing rooms inside a limited footprint.
Atelier Apartment turns a compact plan into a quieter everyday interior by making storage, thresholds, and work surfaces feel continuous rather than added later.

Case notes
The case study is organized around intent, constraint, and the spatial decisions that make the project useful.
Context
The existing rooms had enough area but too many small interruptions: exposed storage, uneven thresholds, and furniture competing with circulation. The design reduces those interruptions.
Strategy
- Consolidate storage into built-in walls so loose pieces no longer crowd the plan.
- Use one restrained material language across living, dining, and work zones.
- Give the smallest corners a role, either as pause points, display, or focused work surfaces.
Materials
Muted timber, off-white walls, linen upholstery, and dark metal details give the apartment a studio quality without turning it into a showroom.
Gallery
Rooms in sequence.
Large views are paired with short captions so the page reads as a spatial walk-through, not a grid of thumbnails.
Joinery Logic
Process and drawings.
The working drawings focus on how storage depth, display ledges, and task surfaces align so the apartment reads as a single interior system.
