Studio Bazi masterfully revamped a compact 355 sq ft (33 m²) flat in the heart of Moscow, turning it into a highly functional, stylish home for a single resident. Despite the limited space, the design includes a bedroom, living room, kitchen, laundry area, and bathroom, all elegantly fitted within the small footprint. A modern staircase welcomes you into the apartment, leading down into a surprisingly spacious area, accentuated by a fresh white color scheme and natural wood finishes. Key features include a wall-to-wall bookcase in the living room and large windows that enhance the sense of space.
The centerpiece is an oak block that initially appears as floor-to-ceiling wardrobes but cleverly conceals a kitchen and laundry area. This hidden section is equipped with essential amenities like storage, a refrigerator, and a pullout table, alongside a laundry nook with a washing machine. Utilizing traditionally wasted space, Studio Bazi ingeniously incorporated a bathroom and additional storage under the staircase.
The apartment is completed with a fresh and modern bedroom at the rear and beautiful 1930s-inspired furniture and décor throughout, creating an inviting and multifunctional living space in Moscow.
A contemporary and inviting entryway leads into this 355 sq ft (33 m²) multifunctional apartment set within a historic home in Moscow, Russia. The white walls and light natural wood floors create an illusion of added spaciousness.
A set of stairs guides you down into the heart of the apartment, with the first area you meet being a wide, open living area with plenty of natural light and sunshine streaming through the big, gorgeous windows.
The staircase leads to and from the home’s entrance. Studio Bazi has made clever use of the spare space underneath.
The understairs area has been cleverly transformed into a bathroom and pullout closet. There’s certainly no shortage of space in this 33m2 apartment. What’s more, the white color scheme helps this entire wall of storage blend in with its surroundings.
The three pullout storage closets ensure ample wardrobe space
The closets feature plenty of space for shoes, shirts, socks, and all everyday essentials you’d find in the average bedroom closet. They are within convenient reach of the adjacent bathroom.
This apartment looks like it would never have enough room for a fully functioning kitchen and laundry, but you may be surprised by what’s tucked away in an oak cupboard between the living room and bedroom.
The large oak cupboard is easy-care and keeps clutter to a minimum. However, it has some surprising secrets behind it.
Open the first set of cupboard handles, and a fully functional kitchen will reveal itself! Innovative storage solutions in this hideaway kitchen ensure it’s practical for convenient meal prep. It even has a fold-out table!
However, there’s more to this cupboard than meets the eye. Open the cupboard on the right to reveal a washer-dryer and an abundance of laundry storage for easy clothing care
Once the kitchen cupboard doors are open, it becomes a fully practical kitchen with plenty of space to prepare meals and dine comfortably. The pullout dining table can be used to prepare or enjoy a meal.
While cozy, this well-designed kitchen has everything you need for everyday living, including a hot plate, sink, efficient lighting, and even dish storage.
The extra lighting in the kitchen proves helpful for dishwashing and meal prep. It can even be extended across the entire kitchen nook.
There’s plenty of space for laundry-related activities in the hideaway laundry. A pullout drawer and cubbies are seamlessly integrated into the space above the washer-dryer combo.
The living space in this beautiful unit is deceivingly spacious. The large bookcase adds much-needed warmth and coziness to the area, while the wall-to-wall window ensures it’s well-lit year-round.
Any individual or couple would be happy to relax in this living space. It’s fresh and welcoming and flows seamlessly through to the rest of the apartment.
The beautiful rug in the living area is a nice touch. It breaks up the ’sameness’ of the white walls and wood flooring present throughout the entire flat.
The spacious bedroom is modern and inviting, boasting spectacular views of the street from the side windows. These windows also let in plenty of natural light and warmth in summer.
Alongside having plenty of storage space in the main areas of the home, there’s also plenty in the bedroom, with an oak cupboard tucked away in the corner.
The bathroom is conveniently located next to the bedroom under the stairs, with a gorgeous wet-floor bathroom positioned in the heart of the home.
The circular window in the bathroom makes it appear much larger than it is while adding extra flair to the unit.
Staring at the circular window from the outside, you can see the bathroom vanity and mirror reflecting the circle window back at you.
The toilet is akin to those you’d find in any standard home. The floating toilet sits in front of a modern wood feature wall, with white walls tying the look together.
