New-Build Two-Bedroom Urban Apartment Replanning with a Forest View
Project Type
E-Design, Space Planning, Remodel, Styling
Date
April 2023
Location
Hainault, Essex, UK
This contemporary two-bedroom apartment was newly built, but required thoughtful spatial reconfiguration to truly meet the lifestyle needs of a young, growing family. With a generous balcony terrace facing the forest and countryside, the design reimagines the interiors to blend function, serenity, and flexibility within an urban modern aesthetic.
Design Objectives:
The layout was reworked to enhance spatial efficiency while keeping the apartment open, light-filled, and family-friendly. Multi-functional furniture, soft textiles, and integrated storage solutions create a calm and cohesive flow throughout the space—from the open dining area to the cosy living and sleeping zones.
Key Features:
- Dining & Living: A sculptural round dining table anchors the shared space, positioned beside full-height windows to frame the stunning outdoor views. Soft neutral tones, sheer curtains, and abstract art bring warmth and sophistication.
- Living Area: Flexible and inviting, with a compact seating nook and wall-mounted storage, designed for both downtime and entertaining. Thoughtfully placed lighting adds dimension and intimacy.
- Sleeping Quarters: Minimalist and airy, the bedrooms feature built-in solutions and space-saving elements, allowing more room to play, rest, and grow.
- Balcony Connection: Sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling curtains maintain a strong connection to the terrace and nature beyond, expanding the livable space.
This reconfigured apartment combines clean modern lines with a soft, livable touch—transforming a standard new build into a nurturing, stylish retreat for a young family, seamlessly merging city living with natural surroundings.
