MNN Apartment

MNN Apartment is a minimalist apartment located in Warsaw, Poland, designed by MAP. The apartment is a blend of Scandinavian simplicity, Japanese elegance, and the timeless appeal of mid-century modern design, avoiding the trappings of trendiness for a more genuine reflection of the homeowner’s preferences. This choice of style is a direct nod to the owner’s appreciation for Scandinavian design and a budding interest in Japanese aesthetics, inspired by recent travels. Central to the apartment’s design is the kitchen, envisioned as a hub of culinary creativity and social interaction. It features a large island equipped with a Bora cooktop and integrated absorber, allowing for seamless entertainment without the disruption often associated with open-plan layouts. The kitchen’s design ethos extends into the living area, where a spacious modular sofa invites relaxation and socialization in a cohesive space.

The bedroom, meanwhile, is crafted as an elevated sanctuary, merging modernist design with views of the cityscape, to foster a sense of detachment and peace. MAP Studio’s approach to creating a serene yet engaging environment focuses on meticulous detail, material selection, and the interplay of textures and volumes. This strategy ensures a visually soothing yet dynamic atmosphere, where tactile sensations from varied surfaces—like soft woolen rugs and smooth wood—contribute to a holistic sense of well-being. The design’s unified, muted palette encourages moments of reflection amidst the bustle of urban life. The apartment also showcases custom and adaptable furniture pieces that echo the timeless designs of the mid-19th century, alongside carefully chosen artworks by young Polish abstract artists. These pieces add a layer of emotional resonance to the space, reinforcing MAP Studio’s dedication to a design that is both aesthetically pleasing and deeply personal.
