Introduction

The Eyes Wide Open Apartment, designed by PRUSTA LTD in Vilnius, Lithuania, stands out as a luxurious and vibrant living space. Led by architect Ieva Prunskaitė, the project involved the renovation of a double-decker apartment to create a funky yet sophisticated home for a four-person family. With panoramic city views and a desire for luxury, the design concept revolves around the use of natural materials and subtle brass accents.

Architectural Vision

The defining feature of the apartment is its large windows, offering breathtaking views of the cityscape. Inspired by the bronze roofs visible from within, subtle brass details throughout the interior add a touch of luxury. The changing hues of the bronze surfaces, illuminated by sunlight throughout the day, create dynamic and mood-enhancing effects within the space. Contrasting against the brass, large black stone panels on the walls further enhance the visual impact.

Interior Design Elements

To balance the industrial feel of concrete ceilings and light wood flooring, natural materials like brass and stone are utilized extensively. A solid blue color is introduced as an accent, seen in the plush velvet sofa in the living room and echoed in the bathroom and bedroom details. The attic space is accessed via elegant white stairs, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the interior.

Functional Design Solutions

To maximize the city views and maintain an open feel, the layout includes a parent’s bedroom with expansive windows overlooking the urban landscape. The dining area features delicate, openwork pendant lights that complement the brass accents and allow uninterrupted views. The integration of brass motifs in lighting fixtures and glass partitions adds visual continuity and sophistication to the design.

Outdoor Living Spaces

The apartment boasts two terraces, each offering unique opportunities for outdoor enjoyment. The upper terrace features a small sauna and jacuzzi, accessible from the bedroom, while the ground-floor terrace is ideal for outdoor cooking and dining. All furniture and fittings in the apartment are custom-designed to suit the space, ensuring a cohesive and harmonious interior.

Conclusion

Despite the challenges posed by the non-standard layout, PRUSTA LTD successfully transformed the Eyes Wide Open Apartment into a harmonious and luxurious living environment. Through thoughtful architectural solutions and meticulous attention to detail, the apartment exudes elegance and sophistication while offering comfort and functionality for its residents.
