The project

Urban Living, Varna

Urban rooms, held to the sea.

A contemporary urban apartment by the sea in St. Constantine and Helena. A seaside property with the amenities of everyday living and an urban character, closer to a city apartment than a holiday house.

White, walnut and warm accents keep the rooms quiet so the view can work. Glass partitions, round tables and a linear kitchen keep the plan open between living, dining and cooking.

Living

The living room faces the water.

White seating, round tables and the sea through tall glass. Walnut and fluted panelling hold the television wall; a glass partition toward the dining room keeps light deep in the plan.

Kitchen and dining

Kitchen and dining as one run.

A linear kitchen in white and walnut, with glass cabinets and light along the shelves. A pale dining table under a disc pendant sits against a timber wall; the glass partition holds the two zones together without merging them.

The kitchen run: a white worktop, glass cabinets and a narrow window at the end.
The dining room seen through the glass partition, toward the kitchen and the light.

Master bedroom

Walnut behind the bed, light at the window.

The upholstered bed sits in front of a walnut wall and thin pendants. A dressing niche with mirrored doors and light strips keeps storage in the same quiet register; opposite the bed a floating walnut console takes the television.
