Apartment in Assen, Netherlands

Shop converted into one bedroom apartment.

The apartment used to be a hairdresser shop and still has the wide shop window. This is the only window in the apartment and this is the reason why open plan concept comes as the best solution.

Function is divided into two zones: day zone and night zone. Day zone (living room) is oriented towards busy street while night zone (bedroom) is on the opposite side with the door leading to the back garden. Open layout kitchen and the “walk – through” bathroom makes transfer between these zones easy and comfortable. Glass door and the glass room divider in the kitchen gets window role to the bedroom. This is affordable, contemporary and easy conversion from public used space to private and warm home.
