Sahara Noir | Miso Architects

Located at the foot of Tâmpei, with a superb view over Brasov, this 2-room apartment had a lot of unexplored potential. The beneficiaries wanted to redecorate with industrial influences, brick accents and dark tones. Already having the working platform and the clean design directions, the concept took shape fluidly, in close communication with the owners, revealing a completely new, surprising, unrecognizable home.
Once we entered the space, we cleaned everything, from the walls, ceilings, drywall partitions and took everything from scratch. We changed the configuration of the entrance hall by canceling an access to the kitchen, thus creating a generous storage with a bench, very suitable and welcoming for that area of ​​the house. The pillar that delimits 3 of the rooms - hall, kitchen, living room, perceived as the ultimate challenge in this space - finally became the nucleus from which several essential functions start - the TV area in the living room, the efficient storage in the hall and the subtle transition to the fronts working of the kitchen.
Following the wishes of the beneficiaries, the industrial style was introduced into the living room with the help of the wall covered with decorative brick, which provides a vibrant background for the sofa upholstered in a warm shade of greige. The rest of the walls here were painted with washable charcoal gray or covered with custom furniture in the same color. The metal assemblies made to order continue the line of industrial design and make the transition from one function to another, unifying the appearance of the entire apartment.

The generous height of the space, the windows along the entire length of the exterior walls, are assets of this apartment that enhance both the interior and the exterior.
Other elements used to emphasize an industrial design style, with modern accents are: the technical lighting with black magnetic tracks that allow the exchange or addition of new spots, the Irsap radiators with a retro and very slim look, the special 3 mm led profiles used in the transition between the different types of finishes and last but not least, the multitude of plants that the beneficiaries had and that they wanted to integrate into the new arrangement.
