BAUHAUS ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS WHO EMIGRATED TO THE UNITED STATES DUE TO THE SHIFTS IN GERMANY AFTER THE 2ND WORLD WAR INITIATED A NEW STYLE CALLED MID CENTURY MODERN. IT IS CHARACTERIZED PRIMARILY BY SIMPLICITY AND FUNCTIONALITY. WE TOOK PLENTY OF INSPIRATION FROM IT, AND ABOVE ALL, THE TITLE OF OUR NEW MID CENTURY PROJECT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO UNVEIL. AS YOU KNOW, WE HATE MONOTONY, SO WE TOOK A CHANCE TO ADD SOME AESTHETICS FROM OLD TENEMENT HOUSES. THE APARTMENT IN QUESTION IS LOCATED IN POZNAŃ'S SOŁACZ, SURROUNDED BY GREENERY AND BEAUTIFUL OLD VILLAS AND TOWNHOUSES. THE HOMEOWNER ASIA, TOGETHER WITH HER HUSBAND, DESIRED TO REVEAL THE SPIRIT OF THIS UNIQUE DISTRICT IN THEIR INTERIOR. THE FLOOR IN THE APARTMENT IS LAID IN A HERRINGBONE PATTERN FOLLOWED BY A HIGH SKIRTING BOARD COMBINED WITH MOLDINGS. THE HEART, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE MOST WINNING ELEMENT OF THE LARGE SALON IS THE ORANGE SMEG REFRIGERATOR, WHICH GIVES THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE ITS STYLE.

 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS PROJECT, WE USED THE IDEA OF AN OPENABLE CUPBOARD/PANTRY WITH A WORKTOP INSIDE THAT CAN BE COVERED BY A KITCHEN FRONT. IN THE LIVING ROOM, NEXT TO THE DINING AREA, THERE IS AN EMERALD WALL - A RICH ACCENT FOR THE REST OF THE DELICATE SHADES. THE BEDROOM IS KEPT IN A MINIMALIST FORM WITH A FEW SMALL ORNAMENTS. THE COLORS HERE ARE SUBTLE, ACCOMPANIED BY NATURAL MATERIALS. THE BATHROOM CATCHES THE VIEWER'S EYE WITH A FANCY FLOOR OF AN ATTRACTIVE PATTERN. THE FURNITURE HERE IS TAILORED TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE SPACE OF A LONG ROOM.  AS YOU CAN SEE, WE WERE BLESSED WITH THE HOMEOWNERS GIFTED WITH VISION, NOT AFRAID TO BET ON BOLD COLORS BREAKING SUBDUED NEUTRAL TONES AND ENGAGING SOLUTIONS IN TERMS OF FUNCTIONALITY AND THE COMPOSITION OF OTHER INTERIOR DETAILS.
