The leitmotiv of the entire design intervention is the use of white paint and oak wood, which together create an environment that is both essential and warm. These materials were chosen to enhance the historic charm of the apartment while also providing a contemporary and inviting feel to the domestic space.
I spent a considerable amount of time developing the materials to ensure they interacted with light in a way that felt natural and realistic. The white paint was carefully calibrated to reflect light softly, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The oak wood textures were designed to highlight their natural grain and warmth, which contrasts beautifully with the clean, white surfaces. The careful consideration of material properties and their response to light was crucial in achieving the desired aesthetic, reinforcing the balance between simplicity and coziness in the apartment.
