Selected ProjectApartment with a bronze kitchen and custom library

What we did

Fit-out of an apartment in Ljubljana where the kitchen, living area and library come together in one open space. Along the wall are handleless floor-to-ceiling units that hide the fridge, oven, dishwasher and pantry, while in the middle stands an island in a bronze metallic finish with a rounded end.

Kitchen with an island

The kitchen run is 3.9 metres long with nine LEGRABOX drawers. The fronts open without handles, at a touch with Blum electric drive, so the wall stays a calm, clean surface. The window recess is lined in the same bronze tone as the island, and an LED strip lights the worktop. The island is 2.8 metres long, with six LEGRABOX drawers, the hob and space for bar stools. The worktops of the kitchen and island are compact laminate.

Custom library

The most personal part of the apartment is the library. We designed the floor-to-ceiling shelves around an old dark cabinet that stayed part of the home, so the books frame it on both sides and above. The closed cupboards have matt, anti-fingerprint fronts.

Hallway

The hallway is panelled in boards matching the cabinetry, and the doors sit flush with the panelling on concealed hinges. A niche lit by LED is set into the wall for keys and decoration. Shoe and coat cupboards stand by the entrance, and a mirror at the end of the hallway makes the space feel longer.

Execution

Everything was made in our workshop in Ig and installed by our own team. We give a 2-year warranty on manufacture and installation with correct use and care according to the instructions; Blum hardware carries the manufacturer's lifetime warranty.

Who it suits

Anyone fitting out a whole apartment who wants the kitchen, living area and hallway to feel like one – and anyone with a lot of books. More about custom kitchens: Custom kitchens.
