The project

A Residence with Character, Yambol

Repeating colour, brick and texture hold the open plan, while each room keeps its own character.

In Yambol the kitchen, living room and dining share one open volume that is far from large. Connection comes from repeating colours, shapes, surfaces and textures; each zone also keeps an element of its own, the white wall with a linear fire, the brick dining side, the kitchen in a blue-and-white patchwork.

The same brick and palette return in the master bedroom. The guest bedroom is cleaner, in line with the budget, but with its own atmosphere. A third room is a working space with an orange sofa and a wall of paintings. The views are a 3D visualization.

Living, dining and kitchen

One volume, three registers.

The living room had to connect visually with dining and kitchen without looking the same. The yellow-grey of the rug and cushions, the timber floor, the brass of the lights are repeated; then each zone keeps a mark, the glossy white wall with a linear fire, the brick sideboard, the kitchen patchwork.

Master bedroom

Brick, returned as warmth.

The bedroom takes the brick from the dining wall as an element of warmth, with the same palette brought from the living room. A desk sits against the brick; full-height pale doors close the wardrobe. The bathroom beside it is pale stone, mosaic and a floating timber cabinet.

The bedroom toward the balcony: a desk against the brick, a tufted bench and a painting of circles above the bed.
Bathroom with a vessel basin on a marble top, a round mirror, a bath and pale mosaic.

Guest bedroom

A quieter room, still its own.

The guest bedroom is cleaner, in line with the budget, with its own atmosphere. A tufted headboard, circular wall discs and a few colour notes set the room without repeating the brick. The second bathroom is pale, with a geometric floor and a glass shower.

A narrow bathroom with a glass shower, a timber basin shelf and a floor of black-and-white circles.
Working room with an orange sofa, an arc lamp and a dark wall of many paintings.

Third bedroom

A working room with a wall of pictures.

The third bedroom is a working space: an orange sofa, a dark wall of paintings, a timber desk to the window. Accents of colour and form give the room its own appearance while staying in the apartment’s overall scheme.
