The project
A complete private environment within a compact footprint.
N9UVE developed a student living concept that creates the comfort and character of a carefully resolved apartment within a limited footprint. Sleeping, studying, dining and cooking are brought together in one continuous composition without compromising the clarity of the room.
Bespoke joinery makes every surface work harder. Storage, lighting and essential domestic functions are integrated into the architecture, allowing the studio to feel organised, calm and distinctly residential.
Living & study
One room,
several rhythms.
A dedicated desk sits beside the window, while a compact dining table supports both everyday meals and informal work. The upholstered bed, television wall and integrated cabinetry create a comfortable setting for rest without losing valuable storage.
Kitchen & storage
Every centimetre assigned a purpose.
The compact kitchen includes a hob, oven, integrated refrigerator, sink, work surface, drawers and overhead cupboards. A tall joinery element mediates between the kitchen and sleeping zone, combining closed storage with an illuminated open niche and creating a subtle spatial boundary without closing off the room.
Bathroom
Compact, durable and carefully considered.
Stone-effect ceramic surfaces are combined with slender vertical tiles, walnut-toned joinery and brass-finish fixtures. An illuminated mirror, integrated niches and a concealed cabinet above the toilet organise the small room while keeping every function visually controlled.
Materials & details
A practical palette with a residential feel.
Pale painted walls, warm timber tones, textile-effect laminates and soft upholstery establish a calm base. Expressive stone-patterned ceramics, integrated LED lighting and brass-toned details add definition while remaining robust enough for everyday student use.
