Unique apartment in Sopot Dolny
Situated on a charming, quiet street in Lower Sopot, this three-story, intimate townhouse from the early 20th century hides an eclectic interior. It is located just 100 meters from Monte Cassino.
In May, lilac smells here, and the greenery in the living room windows evokes the paintings of Pierre Bonnard, feeling as if the enchanted world of his works complements the here and now.
The townhouse, built for a German family in 1906, was wildly decorative.
Above the wooden door, in the common area, is a restored painting from that era, and a pair of tea and amber stained-glass windows, on either side of the three-meter-high solid wood front door, invite you to enter the apartment.
The stained-glass windows, combined with the dark colors of the oak staircase leading to the galleries of the successive floors, illuminate the zenith light coming in through the transparent finial of the building’s roof.
The entire space, kept in a pastel range of blues, evokes a desire for relaxation and a sense of harmony. It alludes to the unique surroundings and the sea resort. The intention was to create a place that proposes timeless solutions and imperishable beauty preserved in its simplicity and architecture.
The entire apartment, on the walls, is dominated by a muted gray blue. It gives a fantastic base for the bright sofas, the dark woodwork of the library with a high ladder and Moroccan rugs imported from various corners of the world. From the spacious living room you enter the bedroom, separated by a hallway from the bathroom. on the opposite side, double doors lead to the veranda. a row of semicircular windows gives a backdrop of wonderfully illuminated natural light to the space. A swing, suspended from the ceiling, balances the work area with a desk and overlooks the greenery and a pine tree planted many years ago by the previous owners.
Recently, the renovated space was the kitchen. The owner chose the color “green smoke” which occupied the main wall to harmonize with the jano-mouse cabinets, made to measure. High-quality liebherr et franke appliances were hidden in the built-in. Everything has been very carefully thought out, so that functionality played on equal footing with design.
An additional guest space of independent studio type is connected to the main apartment. This gives additional comfort to both hosts and guests. It can be accessed both directly from the apartment, as well as through a separate entrance from the staircase. The open space is connected to the kitchen and a bathroom with a shower cubicle. There is also an exit to an intimate terrace-patio, straight from an Italian sienna, where it is nice to sit down for morning coffee. In one of Sopot’s studios, it was possible to recreate a stained-glass window here, following the example of lloyd wright, the American modernist architect, playing with both light and abstract expression.
