A compact one-bedroom apartment of 53 m² in The Hague, designed with a strong focus on functionality and comfort for a client who frequently works from home.
The space was carefully zoned to include a fully functional kitchen, a cozy living area, a dedicated workstation, and a separate quiet bedroom — all tailored through custom furniture to make the most of every square metre.
The layout separates quiet and active zones: a private bedroom along one wing, and an open living–kitchen–work volume that absorbs daylight from multiple windows.
Built-in storage runs through the hallway and rooms so circulation stays clear. Soft neutrals, warm wood, and terracotta accents keep the 53 m² footprint calm and practical for everyday life.
Living
A low cream sofa, terracotta cushions, and a sculptural side table form a compact lounge that still feels open. Sheer curtains soften the city light without closing the room in.
The living zone sits beside the workstation, so the apartment can shift easily between hosting, resting, and focused work — without losing a sense of calm.
Kitchen & dining
Handleless upper cabinets, vertical-grain wood bases, and a terrazzo worktop with terracotta flecks create a fully functional kitchen in a small footprint.
A round dining table with soft orange seats anchors the social centre — linking cooking, eating, and the living area in one continuous, light-filled space.
Workstation
A custom oak desk and a dedicated chair carve out a true home-office corner by the window — essential for a client who works remotely.
Muted wall colour, a terracotta floor lamp, and clear desk storage keep the workstation calm and efficient without competing with the living zone beside it.
Bedroom
The separate bedroom is the quiet counterpart to the open living volume — a private retreat within the compact plan.
Under the sloped ceiling, custom low storage follows the architecture, turning an awkward attic line into calm, built-in functionality.
