E6
Budapest
Nestled within a 1932 Bauhaus villa in Budapest, this 90-square-meter apartment is a testament to thoughtful design and personal history. Once part of a much larger unit, the apartment has been reimagined into a bright, functional two-bedroom home. The heart of the space is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. A standout feature is the restored, oversized window in the bedroom, which now channels light into the kitchen through an interior glass surface. This window is part of a custom-designed closet unit spanning from pillar to pillar. By day, it’s a clever storage solution; by night, it transforms into a glowing light installation. The chosen materials align with the Bauhaus ethos of honesty and simplicity, focusing on locally sourced and sustainable options. The flooring features hardwood parquet, while handmade cement tiles and marble add texture and character. Cabinetry throughout the apartment was crafted from Valchromat, a vibrant yet budget-conscious MDF alternative that adds a playful touch.
