Bostanci Project
A 25 m² living room reimagined as a warm, light-filled and multifunctional space. The proposal explores how thoughtful space planning, vertical surfaces, natural light and carefully selected elements can create a greater sense of comfort and openness without changing the footprint of the room.
Created for a client approaching retirement who wanted to make the most of a compact space while keeping some of her existing pieces, including a TV unit and a taupe Diamond Chair.
Bostanci Living-room transformation how comes?
The challenge was to create both a comfortable relaxation area and a dining space within a limited footprint. The design responds by making the most of the vertical surfaces, introducing warm materials and natural elements, and improving the flow of natural light throughout the room.

MAKING EVERY SQUARE METRE COUNT
Despite the limited 25 m² footprint, the new layout creates both a comfortable relaxation area and a compact dining space.

Vertical surfaces are used to add shelving and functionality, while a built-in bench provides additional seating without taking up valuable floor space. A neutral palette of whites and soft tones was chosen to enhance the feeling of openness and reflect natural light throughout the room.

CONNECTING THROUGH LIGHT
CONNECTING THROUGH LIGHT
The existing layout shows a compact entrance leading into the living area, with the kitchen directly adjacent to the room. A solid door separates the narrow entrance from the living space, limiting the flow of natural light into the hallway.

The proposal replaces the existing door with a fluted glass partition, maintaining the separation between the spaces while allowing natural light to pass through. This creates a brighter and more visually connected entrance without changing the overall layout of the apartment.
