Moving from the suburbs and into the city, a family of five sought out architectural studio Hito to turn an old town apartment into a minimalist and modern dwelling that would reflect their belief that one’s home is inhabited by people, stories and experiences, and not by things. The result is G51, a contemporary space that satisfies all the client’s objectives terms of style and the amount of material things. “The central idea of the modern interior was to preserve purity and to leave as many of the existing engineering solutions as possible replacing and/or covering only the essential planes,” explain the studio.
Spanning 150 square meters (1615 sq.ft), the four-bedroom home is dominated by monochromatic colors and the use of materials of wood, metal, marble and unfinished concrete. Black is used for the furnishings and accents, creating an impression of depth. A unique lighting system adds a contemporary touch to each room, the crowning glory to the the subtle and structural aesthetic of the entire apartment.
