and simple material palette carries through to the bedroom with more oak built-ins, complemented by a flush wall of highly functional storage space. Painted the same off white of the walls, the system of doors and drawers are marked by a carefully choreographed system of rectangular routed pulls. The end result is an intelligently designed apartment imbued with an airy feel, that belies its actual footprint.
