This 65 m² ground-floor apartment in Šančiai, Kaunas, is designed as a compact yet generous home for a family with two children. The project explores how a limited surface can support different ways of living without dividing the apartment into a series of small, enclosed rooms.

The interior is structured around three carefully designed pieces of built-in furniture. More than storage elements, they organise the apartment and define its different zones. Integrated sliding doors allow spaces to be opened, connected or separated depending on the moment of the day. This flexible arrangement makes maximum use of the available floor area while keeping circulation to a minimum.

The built-in furniture brings several functions together within a limited footprint, allowing the rest of the apartment to remain open and uncluttered. Rather than treating storage and doors as secondary elements, they become part of the architecture itself.

Colour gives each zone its own identity. Deep green, vivid blue, orange, red and yellow accents animate the otherwise light and neutral interior, creating a lively home with distinct atmospheres throughout. Together, the three furniture elements, sliding partitions and carefully placed colours transform a compact 65 m² apartment into a flexible and characterful family home.
