This conceptual interior design project was created for a 76 m² apartment in Cairo, Egypt, with one clear challenge: to make the space feel larger without relying on the typical tricks — no light-colored walls, no mirrors, no visual “cheats.”
Instead, the entire design is built around spatial logic, light, and rhythm.

To visually increase the volume of the rooms, we used the effect of a “floating” ceiling with concealed perimeter lighting — not only in the living areas, but even in the bathrooms. This technique opens up the height of the space, creating a soft visual expansion and calm glow.

In the wall decoration, we worked only with large visual planes — avoiding fragmentation. Even the artwork and photos are chosen in large formats, creating an impression of openness and confidence. This approach allows for the use of rich, deep colors and unobtrusive textures, which in turn shape a stylish and charismatic interior.

Retro charm with a modern mind


Every room in this apartment has its own dynamic but fits into a harmonious whole. Retro elements — in furniture, lighting, and décor — are carefully reinterpreted through a contemporary conceptual lens. This interior does not shout. It speaks calmly, but with personality

Results

We developed a stylish and emotionally engaging space that instantly sparks curiosity. The abundance of interior layers, textures, and unexpected details invites questions: Who will live here? What’s their story?
And yet, as soon as you see it — you feel it’s a home for cheerful, expressive, and charismatic people.
This is not just a well-zoned 76 m² apartment. It’s a place with soul and individuality, created with thoughtful restraint, precision, and design integrity.
