Mansion - open apartment in the center of Nitra

Seventy-three square meters in the city center is undoubtedly a pleasant ownership for a person living "single" or in a couple, of course, if they can get the most out of it. The apartment on Farská Street in Nitra fits perfectly for someone living, so to speak, "free." Despite the fact that it didn't look very attractive during the purchase, it hid potential that simply needed to be uncovered and developed. It is located on the ground floor of a courtyard next to two gallery apartments. Originally, it was some sort of a noodle divided by partitions into several smaller spaces. High ceilings (3.6 meters), large windows and doors, close contact with a closed courtyard, with a piece of green space, practically invited to create a modern and spacious living area out of this space marked by the past. By removing most of the partitions, an open layout was created that is divided into two zones where the individual functions intertwine. The main, social part consists of a toilet at the entrance, a kitchen with a dining area, and a living zone. In it, the built-in library, sofa, flat screen, and a lamp that seems more suited to some kind of production hall dominate. Thanks to the French window connected to a small terrace and two large windows facing the courtyard, the room has plenty of natural light. The white furniture and paintings on the walls only enhance this feeling. The relaxation zone consists of a bedroom, a hygiene corner, a wardrobe, and a toilet. The connection between the bedroom and bathroom is very original, as it is only separated by a freestanding drywall partition, covered with plywood veneer made of birch. In the area where the shower is located, ceramic tiles were used. The solution of the hygiene area itself is interesting, especially regarding the connection between the shower and the bathtub. The slatted wooden floor is at the same level as the entrance to the bathtub, which is slightly recessed into the floor. The used sanitary fittings are clean and stylish. The sophisticated solution harmonizes well with the uneven white walls and the industrially designed moisture extractor. The communication between the historical and the contemporary is felt throughout the apartment. The poured concrete floor (Pandomo) unifies the space with its fluency. Stainless steel doors of the kitchen countertop, a built-in library made of white melamine, or modern furniture closely aligned with the bumpy walls, old wing doors fitted into massive wooden frames, and windows facing the courtyard appear gentle and natural in the overall impression. Predominantly white tones and gray concrete flooring are warmed up by birch plywood with distinctly revealed layered veneer. This material has become part of the built-in furniture and cladding on the dividing walls in the kitchen and the previously mentioned bedroom. The dining table and wooden chairs adapted to the cladding. The apartment is a typical example of how history can be combined with the present, a clever idea with design enhancements, and also commercial solitaires into one harmonious whole. Peace and enough privacy is certainly one of the biggest advantages that the purchase of this apartment can provide.
