APARTMENT 7-3

Fully finished spacious apartment in a building on GM Dimitrov Blvd. that offers incredible views to the greenest parks in Sofia, as well as to Vitosha mountain.
It would not be an exaggeration if we say that this project is every architect’s dream come true. We worked in a building whose floor plans we made and supervised. We had the optimal living space with well-planned premises and maximum functionality.
We follow through the whole process of planning, constructing and finishing the residence and especially this apartment.
Once the building was completed, FUNKT took over the finishing works, the interior solutions and the manufacturing of the furniture in the whole apartment. The result is a unique, original design by FUNKT, combining clean lines and natural materials in a cozy and modern aesthetic. We did everything in this apartment as if we were doing it for ourselves, with our vision of home and functionality, and with top-of-the-line materials, we consider both stylish and sustainable.
functional living area
The living room is the most spacious place in the apartment, as it should be in any modern home. The net area is 22 square meters, and the connection with the dining room and the kitchen suits the way we spend our time at home – cooking, eating and relaxing together. The French windows and their exposition provide a constant soft natural light.
The LED lighting is designed by our studio for that apartment specifically. All furniture are made of natural wood, and the mixing of different types of timber is a sought-after effect. The library and the shelves provide enough space for books, memories and decoration. The long pine bench table is designed to accommodate both a large TV and the family photographs or paintings.
The terrace faces west to Vitosha mountain, the zoo and the beautiful sunsets. There is enough space for two garden chairs and a small table.
By all means, the exposed concrete ceiling is the most outstanding element in the apartment. The contrast it creates with the glass lighting fixtures and the wooden furniture makes it one of the most important elements of the whole home design.
& dining
Spacious, practical, tidy. Every kitchen with a dining room should meet those requirements, so we say. What we’ve done here is a kitchen order along a single wall, high-quality materials and easy to maintain surfaces.
The dining table is a unique piece and is made of solid wood – oak and ash. It is designed and handcrafted for this interior by our carpenters’ team. The chairs are our best-selling model – extremely comfortable for both dining and working.
bedroom
Our vision for the perfect bedroom is to radiate intimacy and tranquility, to have enough space for clothes and personal belongings, and to be ‘our place’. We can proudly say that we managed to make the most of the space and gather everything in this bedroom without jam-packing it. The furniture is made of solid wood and natural oak veneer.
The bed is with large, functional drawers rigged under it. The height of the bedside tables is adjusted to the height of the window sill for aesthetic and convenience reasons.
The access to the bathroom is converted into a walk-in wardrobe area with two separate wardrobes. One side of each wardrobe is lined with a full-length mirror. Opposite the wardrobes we situated a stand-alone desk with drawers, which can be used as a dressing table or a home office space.
The Swedish ladder is … a real Swedish ladder 🙂 For motivation and morning workouts.

Who wouldn’t want a room like that? Our goal was a neutral design suitable for all ages since the room can be used either as a kid’s place, a study or a guest room.
Its greatest asset is the panoramic window with the incredible vistas towards Vitosha, the Zoo and Loven park.
Children need enough space to play, but also enough functional solutions for arranging and storing all their toys and games. We went for wooden furniture in light tones, putting only the essentials without cluttering the space.
Next to this room is the second bathroom in the apartment, with similar equipment as the other one – matte granite full-body tiles with anti-slip surface, Acrylan bath with a velvet finish, whirlpool nozzles, mixers GROHE with thermostatic control and large shower head with adjustable flow power. There’s a large double sink from IDEAL STANDARD, toilet and built-in system – high-end line from GROHE.

The apartment welcomes you with a spacious hall with a large wooden wardrobe and a full-length wooden frame mirror. The direct daylight from the kitchen window and the large mirror creates a feeling of openness, and the wooden floors add a sense of coziness from the very entrance.
To the right is the service room with yet another sink and toilet. There is an installed washing machine and fitting cabinets for detergents, as well as enough space for a dryer if you want one.
By all means, the exposed concrete ceiling is the most outstanding element in the apartment. The contrast it creates with the glass lighting fixtures and the wooden furniture makes it one of the most important elements of the whole home design.
The lighting solution is extremely cost-efficient and easily adjustable.
Come see yourself what we’ve created with this apartment. You will be hosted by someone from our team who’s been involved in the project from start to finish and will give you detailed information about each detail, material, appliance or piece of furniture.
We’ve put all our minds and hearts into this interior design, along with all our expertise and vision on coziness and lifestyle. We hope to find like-minded fellows who share our aesthetics and sense of wellbeing.
