Sometimes a home transcends its physical form to become a quiet reflection of the people who live within it. Silver Reflection, a 140m² apartment in the Silver Park residential complex, does exactly that — expressing a family’s appreciation for beauty, calm and considered living through a refined modern interior.
From the outset, the space presented both challenge and opportunity. Angled external walls disrupted traditional geometry, raising the question of how to introduce order where straight lines did not naturally exist. Rather than resisting this imperfection, the design embraced it as a starting point — a conscious pursuit of harmony shaped by constraint.
The brief from the clients, a family of four with two adult children, was clear: a calm, modern interior in a neutral palette, free from overt glamour yet rich in dignity. The result is an interior that resists spectacle, instead acting as a serene backdrop for everyday life.
Spatial reconfiguration played a key role. The kitchen and living room were united into a generous open-plan space, while a former balcony was transformed into a light-filled study, separated by a simple sliding door. In the son’s bedroom, the windowsill was removed to increase airflow and daylight, and part of a bathroom was repurposed into a built-in wardrobe — a quiet example of rational design serving daily comfort.
At the heart of the project lies the idea of nobility through restraint. Glossy portals in the living area lend presence and polish without shouting luxury, while every surface, texture and line of light contributes to a sense of cohesion and calm.
The colour palette evolved organically. What began as a request for beige matured into a nuanced spectrum of tones. The living room and son’s bedroom are almost monochromatic, rendered in deep, calming greys.
In contrast, the main bedroom and daughter’s room are softened by sandy hues, reminiscent of morning light filtering through sheer curtains.
One of the home’s most striking moments is found in the bathroom, clad in Silver Wave stone. Resembling a frozen swell of water, the stone reads less as a finish and more as a sculptural element — a natural monolith that anchors the space with quiet drama.
Furniture and lighting act as deliberate brushstrokes throughout the apartment. A Leicht kitchen in noble grey glass is paired with a Gubi dining table and Axo Light chandelier, finished in leather for subtle warmth. In the living room, a Meridiani sofa and armchair sit alongside a Minotti coffee table, grounded by a Dovlet House carpet and Forta T textiles.
Each bedroom is given its own rhythm. The master bedroom features an antique ARCHIPENKO chest from Minotti, reinforcing a sense of continuity and timeless taste. The daughter’s room layers sandy tones with an Alivar bed and Vibia lighting, while the son’s room embraces a restrained grey palette by Ditre Italia, softened with minimalist Meridiani details.
Though the apartment integrates advanced technological solutions, the defining quality of Silver Reflection lies in the clients’ willingness to commit fully to the concept. As the designer recalls, “Black gloss and mirrors will require care and patience.” Their response was simple and resolute: “We are ready. For the sake of beauty.”
In that sentiment lies the essence of this home — and perhaps of design itself: an understanding that true beauty is something to be lived with, cared for, and quietly cherished.
