The project involved reimagining a 1930s apartment in Malmö for a young couple with a budget of 500,000 SEK. Our goal was to maximise the functionality and flow of the space, while preserving its historic charm, to create a stylish yet practical home.
The original apartment featured a unique "halva" area, a common but often underutilised space in older Swedish apartments. The kitchen was compact and separate from the main living areas, limiting natural light and openness. This layout provided an opportunity to transform the halva into a centralised, functional kitchen space that would improve the flow and connectivity within the apartment.
The concept for the project centred around relocating the kitchen to the halva, creating a more efficient and open layout. By introducing a sliding door, we provided flexibility between the kitchen and main living space, allowing for both connection and privacy when needed. The low-profile kitchen cabinets were designed to keep sightlines open, letting natural light flow from end to end, enhancing the apartment’s airy feel while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.
The completed project brings a fresh, modern look to this classic 1930s apartment. The new kitchen in the halva seamlessly integrates with the living area, maximising functionality and flow. Custom cabinetry and carefully chosen finishes create a sleek, cohesive look, while the open layout allows natural light to fill the space. The updated bathroom adds a stylish contrast with dark tiles, and thoughtful details throughout ensure that the apartment feels both spacious and welcoming—a perfect blend of old charm and new practicality for the young couple.
