An apartment for one of the authors of the project, the director of a design studio and a mother of three crazy boys. Of course, the project had been in work ever since the apartment block where the family were to live was founded. The two two-room apartments were made into a five-room one with huge panoramic windows that had been mere windproof glazing of the loggias previously. The glass was covered with security film, for three boys in the house will always be three boys in the house, making some precautions preferable. The apartment wants for nothing, as the author of the project spent several years on it in her head. There are no common painted walls that could be spoilt with crayons. All are either banners or textured plaster, impossible to smear or to scratch. There are no little shelves for putting little things on them, no coffee table in the living room even – only a pouf occasionally serving as a footstool. All of the above deprivations were made in order to prevent the three boys and one particular dad from loading all horizontal surfaces with books, toy cars and empty plates, the task of clearing which, in the previously inhabited apartment, fell to the lot of the author. The new apartment simply provides no opportunity. A lot of space in this apartment is meant for storing, and all the bigger rooms belong to grown-ups. The kitchen-living room amounts to 40 m2, the parents’ bedroom to 25, the parents’ windowed bathroom to 12. Each of the three boys’ bedrooms takes 11 m2, which definitely is not very spacious. Nevertheless, all of them are unique and bright, and each son is convinced his room is the best place in the apartment.
