Bajersokol designed the Black Amber flat, located in Warsaw, Poland. The 160-square-metre apartment for a couple and their son features distinct day and night house sections. Bajersokol employed materials like marble and textured wallpaper to create cohesion and a warm, dark aesthetic. This balanced composition, along with hidden storage solutions, seamlessly integrates functionality and style in the interior design.
Spatial Relations in Interior Design
Bajersokol designed the Black Amber apartment in Warsaw, Poland. It features a 160-square-metre shell transformed into a comfortable living space for a couple, their teenage son, and the family pet – a large dog.
The apartment in Morskie Oko Apartments is practical yet sophisticated, with a coherent design. The key to success was the mutual understanding between the investors and the designers. The clients were well-prepared, clearly outlining their needs and inspirations from the start. Their precise communication enabled the design planning to be effectively prepared during the initial meetings, streamlining the process.
It was also a well-considered decision to entrust the project to the Bajersokol team. The clients anticipated a project with a sophisticated aesthetic where all technical elements and regular fixtures would remain hidden to preserve the composition’s focus on the interior design.
Functional Layout
The 160 m² apartment has an elongated rectangular layout, with the entrance positioned nearly halfway along its length. The architects divided the space accordingly: on the right of the main entrance is an open-plan living area that includes a living room, kitchen, dining area, and a workspace for the landlord. On the left side lies the night area, including the master bedroom suite with an integrated bathroom and dressing room, as well as the son’s room.
The design followed the clients’ request for a warm, dark color palette, giving the flat its name: Black Amber. Designers Hanna Bajer and Paweł Sokół used only noble, natural materials to build a cohesive color palette that aligns with the clients’ vision.
All the rooms form a very coherent ensemble, achieved through a shared material base with subtle variations, and the clients’ choice to maintain a minimalist aesthetic without specific memorabilia or decorative elements. The result is a holistic and harmonious set of interiors.
Transitional Design
The narrow hallway at the entrance leads directly to the open living area, though it also conceals essential functions for the entire home. Alongside a spacious wardrobe and guest toilet, there is a laundry room, a dog food storage area, and a large switchboard for the KNX smart home system. Despite these hidden functions, the hallway appears uncluttered, featuring only a console for small items, a pouffe for convenience, and a decorative lighting composition.
This hallway introduces the design elements that define the apartment’s character, such as dark satin marble for the console, light grey marble flooring, and wallpaper that imitates thick-woven fabric.
Subtle Shifts in Environment
In the main living space, the designers showcase a flair for working with colors, patterns, and textures. The kitchen, set in darker tones, appears as a distinct alcove from the bright living room, highlighted by a sculptural composition in brown marble. This includes a backlit stone slab in a shallow niche above the worktop and a monolithic island, framed by textured wallpaper that also covers the lowered ceiling, concealing the sound system and lighting installations.
The adjacent areas contrast the intimate kitchen with large glass walls opening to the park, bringing a sense of nature into the home. Light colors dominate here, from the flooring to the furniture, creating a soft and open atmosphere, with a few dark accents for contrast, such as low coffee tables and select lighting fixtures.
Rest Areas Beyond White
The teenage son’s area, facing the hallway, includes a study, a computer room, a bedroom, and a separate bathroom. To maintain a minimalist look, all items associated with teenage life are stored in spacious wardrobes, allowing the only decorative element—a mural with a moon motif—to stand out.
The master bedroom suite includes a spacious dressing room and bathroom. The design of the master suite is connected visually to the other areas through shared materials and elements like sliding doors and light fixtures. A decorative marble panel, echoing the kitchen design, appears behind the bed. The dressing room, though windowless, feels bright and orderly with mirrored frames for both function and style.
Different Moods from Room to Room
The master bathroom walls feature grooved tiles, continuing the textural theme found throughout the apartment. Antonio Lupi’s bathroom ceramics and Gessi fittings combine to create a practical and beautiful setting. A Bang&Olufsen sound system completes the ambiance, enhancing the morning routine.
The guest toilet, accessible from the hallway through a hidden door matching the wall’s wallpaper, embodies the apartment’s minimalist style with a single focal point—a freestanding marble washbasin that embodies the high-quality, refined design the clients envisioned.
