In the heart of Gothenburg, Sweden, a recently renovated duplex apartment seamlessly combines turn-of-the-century architectural features with contemporary Scandinavian design.
Spanning an impressive 113 square meters across two bright levels, this spacious home is a rare find within the city’s historic apartment buildings.
The lower floor comprises a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, while the upper level features sloped ceilings adorned with numerous skylights, creating light-filled spaces that include two additional bedrooms, a second living area, and another bathroom.
Throughout the apartment, a chic and modern Scandinavian aesthetic prevails.
The main living room on the lower level is a haven of natural light, with two expansive windows, hardwood floors, and walls painted in Jotun’s ‘Limestone’ hue.
A stunning highlight of this space is the functioning historic fireplace nestled in the corner – a beautiful remnant from the apartment’s original construction.
The open floor plan effortlessly connects the living area, kitchen, and bedrooms via an airy hallway.
The kitchen exudes charm with its cream-colored cabinets, oak countertops, and walls painted in the same soft gray as the living room.
A dining table adorned with a pink striped tablecloth adds a playful touch to the space.
The serene master bedroom, located on the lower floor, features walls painted in Jotun’s ‘Airy Green,’ creating a tranquil atmosphere.
The second bedroom doubles as a guest room and home office, with walls echoing the subtle green shade found in the master bedroom and pine floorboards that flow throughout the home.
The first bathroom boasts a fresh aesthetic, with white wall tiles contrasting beautifully with colorful terrazzo floor tiles.
Three niches above the toilet provide ample storage within the compact space.
A staircase in the living room leads to the upper floor, where exposed brick walls and wooden beams showcase the home’s historical elements.
Large skylights flood the space with natural light, while the walls are painted in Jotun’s ‘Kokos.’
Two additional bedrooms with sloped ceilings and skylights create cozy spaces perfect for children.
The upper level also features a stunning second bathroom, where luxurious light gray tiles harmonize with a modern freestanding bathtub and a sink accompanied by ribbed wooden vanity drawers.
