Tour a 388-Square-Foot Apartment in Kazakhstan With a Vibrant Soul
Briefly

The article discusses the design challenges and successes faced when creating a small apartment, emphasizing the need for optimized use of available space. Designer Mamedov highlights the delays in sourcing furniture due to geopolitical factors, which led to creative problem-solving. The apartment is structured around key functional areas, including a sleeping zone, kitchen, and bathroom, with thoughtful color and material choices to visually enhance the interior. The design improves perception of space through rounded walls, arched openings, and mirrors, contributing to a harmonious and practical living environment.
The apartment's small footprint presented some difficulties in the design phase but forced us to maximize the use of the space that was available.
The space is organized with an emphasis on functionality, with a separate sleeping area, dedicated kitchen space, and storage created to fit the client’s active lifestyle.
I divided the apartment into several 'blocks,' defining them with colors, furnishings, and fabrics to soften the space.
We also added mirrored elements in the kitchen area and on the hidden bathroom door to amplify the rooms.
