Storage that belongs to the room — original design concept

The brief

Practical apartment upgrades planned around space, access and building rules. This study explores a setting where daily use and a clear visual language guide the design together.

The design thinking

Metria brings a measured approach to apartment renovation. We balance the potential of your home with its real dimensions, building logistics and the practicalities of everyday city living. The concept brings that approach into a spatial idea, using a restrained material palette and clear relationships between the main elements.

From concept to your property

A visual direction is the beginning of a conversation. Translating it into a project requires measured information, a site review, specialist coordination and an agreed specification.

  • Apartment size and rooms affected
  • Retained versus altered service positions
  • Lift, delivery and working arrangements
  • Joinery, flooring and finish level

THE STUDY IN DETAIL

A closer look at the detail.

A good plan inside the apartment still has to fit the building’s delivery route, service positions and working arrangements.

Illustrative design study · No client or completed build is claimed.

Illustrative high-rise home

The detail study narrows the wider brief to storage that belongs to the room. Use integrated storage, a clear kitchen connection and a calm finish palette to make the apartment work comfortably for everyday life.

Design decisions

  • Measure the route from loading area to apartment before sizing fabricated pieces.
  • Develop storage from the household inventory and door clearances.
  • Coordinate lighting and sockets with the furniture and cabinet layouts.
