atelier starzak strebicki has completed the refurbishment of an apartment from the 1950s in poznań, poland. the 55 sqm flat has been formed by joining together two adjacent low-rise buildings, resulting in a quite long and shallow interior, accompanied with six windows evenly exposing the rooms to the sunlight.

the interior design by atelier starzak strebicki includes various multifunctional ‘wall-furniture’ that divide the space into particular functions. these partitions delimit the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom and the entry area. these colorful wall-furniture that form niches and cabinets, functioning as storage areas and wardrobes, give a distinct character to the modernized apartment.

the walls also hold sliding doors to differentiate the areas that need privacy, like the bathroom and the bedroom. in addition, the house features many different niches, functioning as wardrobes. the existing wooden plank flooring was supplemented and after polishing oiled. however, in the kitchen and the bathroom, where there was no original wood, new floor was made from granite tiles.
