CLIENT
A young, creative, and sociable woman who, after years spent in Northern Europe, wished for her new home in Chișinău to capture the calm of Scandinavian living while reflecting her own vibrant personality.
TASK
To design a compact yet fluid and elegant apartment where Nordic minimalism blends with classical details and warm accents, resulting in a functional, welcoming, and deeply personal space.
THE CONCEPT
In the heart of ChiÈ™inău, this apartment tells the story of a young woman who brought with her the calm elegance of Scandinavian living. Years spent in Northern Europe shaped her appreciation for open shelves, bare windows, and timeless design pieces — all woven here into a space that feels both curated and deeply personal.
​
Neutral tones in beige and greige set a serene backdrop, while warm earthy accents add intimacy and character. The interiors are enriched with her beloved artworks, delicate classical details on ceilings and window frames, and the clean lines of contemporary lighting. The result is a home where contrasts harmonize — classic and modern, warm and cool — with a personality as vibrant as its owner.

LAYOUT
The apartment’s plan is compact yet fluid, shaped for both comfort and social life. The open-space area connects kitchen, dining, and living into a single cohesive flow. At the window, a desk integrates seamlessly into the layout, offering a quiet corner for work, while the generous soft seating zone accommodates gatherings of friends — complemented, naturally, by a dedicated wine fridge.
​
The kitchen is minimalist in concept, but elevated through the subtle detail of profiled fronts. The bedroom serves as a calm retreat, while the bathroom completes the functional core of the apartment. Scandinavian-inspired shelving systems introduce rhythm and openness to the walls, balancing utility with aesthetics.
​
Every detail was tailored to the lifestyle of its owner: sociable, creative, and refined — a space that frames daily rituals with quiet elegance, while leaving room for art, conversation, and companionship (including that of her cat).
