A Modern Split-Level Apartment in a Former Bakery

This newly built split-level apartment is located in a former early 20th-century bakery shop in Gothenburg. The 43 square meter space was newly designed by property developer Vindshem, creating a charming, light-filled new home in an old 1920s building.

Nothing has been left to chance when designing this apartment. Carefully selected materials, a stylish design, and an optimized floor plan make the most of the limited space and create a luxurious-looking small home.

The ceiling is over three meters high, and the developers made use of that by adding a split-level layout with the bedroom area a few steps up from the sitting area. Even though it is all in one space, this way it feels like you have a separate bedroom.

The kitchen is designed by Vedum, adding a double row of upper cabinets to maximize storage space and use the high ceilings. The gray shaker-style cabinets are paired with a limestone (‘Azul Valverde’) countertop and a faucet from Tapwell.

The apartment has two huge windows (thanks to its history as a former shop), which flood the space with natural light.

A small dining table has been fitted in front of the window. If you raise the window sill, you can even use it as a built-in bench and add a bigger dining table.

A lovely sitting area with a pink corduroy sofa has been fired under the raised bedroom area.

A few steps up from the living area lies the bedroom. As an extension of the kitchen, the wardrobes in the sleeping area have been built in the same style.
