Hipster Haven: Functional Flare

Functional Flare

The objective of the overall design of the apartments is to provide a spacious, flowing environment that uses crisp, clean colors to give a young age flare. The spatial layout of the apartment enforces the idea of functionality and flow. By alleviating the use of doors and increasing the size of the hallways, a sense of openness is achieved.

The color scheme of chosen for the design helps to further enhance the idea of a well designed environment with a crisp flare, With such colors as white, black, and gray as the monochromatic backdrop for the apartment, blue and red provide the apartment with that much needed burst of color.


This is a view of the entrance. The floor is a gray marble terrazzo tile. As seen in the picture, once you enter the apartment you are met by the staircase made of concrete and a frosted glass acrylic.


This is a view of the living and dining area. The walls are painted a bright red and white.



In the view you get a better sense of the layout of the apartment. You are also able to see one of the special apartment features. The floor to ceiling glass wall that leads you into the courtyard. You are also able to see how the loft area relates to the rest of the space.


Here is the kitchen arean. The floor and countertop are made out of a black granite. The cabinetry is a maple wood with a brierwood finish.


This bathroom is the only bathroom in the apartment space. Located on the main floor, the bathroom has a shower, toilet, and sink.



The loft bedroom area. In the view you are facing the one white wall in the space. The other three walls are painted blue. The floor is covered with a gray carpet.
