30th June 2025 | IN INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECTS | BY SBID Share Tweet Pinterest LinkedIn Brief The clients, a family of four with three children, bought two neighbouring apartments with common floor area 300m2. The main task was to connect apartments, reorganise the space including individual bedrooms for each of the three children, a room and kitchen for the staff, and a private area for the parents. The head of the family is a professional cyclist, so it was also essential to create a well-equipped home gym. AIYA Bureau AIYA Bureau Design The clients are active people who travel often and have a well-developed visual sensibility. They frequently visit London and are drawn to English classics as well as American style. Their preferences blended harmoniously with the approach of AIYA Bureau, which favours a contemporary aesthetic mixed with classical elements. Modern furniture, lighting, and decor were combined with traditional details like ornate cornices, herringbone parquet flooring, and refined door frames. One standout feature of the apartment is its deep-set windows. For the reveals, the designers created classic-style wood paneling, with the frames extending up into the decorative cornice. Curtains were avoided to keep the space light and airy, and wooden blinds were used instead. The combination of decorative molding, woodwork, and blinds gives the space a distinctive and individual character. AIYA Bureau AIYA Bureau Layout The apartment is divided into three main zones. The first is the formal area: the kitchen-dining room and a spacious living room are placed symmetrically and connected by a wide opening, forming an enfilade. Between them, a small hallway houses a guest bathroom and a technical space with storage and refrigerators. The second large zone is the parents’ suite, and the third is dedicated to the children: three bedrooms for the boys of different ages, a shared children’s bathroom, a guest room, a technical area, and a staff room. This part of the apartment has a separate entrance. AIYA Bureau AIYA Bureau Materials What makes this interior particularly impressive is its cohesiveness. Across all 3000m2s, a consistent palette of materials, style, and colours is maintained: cool wall tones are balanced by the warmth of the flooring. Even the children’s rooms are fully integrated into the overall concept. Every detail has been carefully considered and refined.
