Yet, the architect’s injured feelings have been completely healed by the second project. The space was truly breathtaking: 250 m², two levels, 9-meter-high ceilings in some parts of the flat – all that gave space for implementing Peter’s preferred components – mezzanines. On top of that, the clients, a family with two children, gave him a blank verify. The only condition was warm color range.
The entire approach took as extended as two years, which was sufficient for the preset context to alter: now the hosts got another two babies. This truth undoubtedly affected the original architectural and functional plans.
