Enhancing a duplex apartment with 4.5-meter-high ceilings
Exposed walls, beams, extra-large windows and a mezzanine: discover how to enhance a duplex apartment in Sweden
There are interiors you don’t come across very often. This duplex apartment in a former piano factory in Stockholm, built in 1917, features striking modern design. Its ceiling height is impressive, no less than 4.5 meters. A detail that completely changes the way we perceive, organize, and decorate a space.
A living room with a glass partition, a huge kitchen that doubles as a dining room, and a colorful interior, this duplex apartment has it all. Not to mention a mezzanine that overlooks the first level. This is what you discover upon entering the apartment.
The walls, partially finished with coarse lime plaster, are not a default choice. It is a bold decorative decision. This texture evokes the space’s industrial origins and creates a striking contrast with more refined materials, such as the polished granite window sills, the oak flooring, and the stainless steel in the kitchen.
The windows are also immense, befitting the scale of this one-of-a-kind apartment. Thanks to the high ceilings, a mezzanine has been created, adding 24 square meters of space for a room to retreat to or play in. Accessible via a staircase, it completely transforms the way the space is perceived. In terms of design, this multi-level effect allows for distinct atmospheres within a single space. On the first level: the open, bright living room, designed for socializing. Upstairs: a more intimate space that can serve as an office, guest room, or reading nook, depending on your needs.
A 30sqm west-facing terrace complements the interior. It features a lounge area, a table for al fresco dining, and some potted plants, allowing the terrace to naturally extend the apartment.
The conversion of old industrial buildings, often well-located within cities, is one solution to the current housing shortage. This former piano factory provided the perfect space to create unique apartments like this duplex with its stylish and colorful decor.
