The apartment spans 88 square meters, giving everyone room to relax.
The open-plan living area and kitchen sit at the heart of the home. It is the kind of space where mornings start slowly with coffee at the dining table, laptops open nearby, and evenings end on the sofa with the TV on and a glass of wine in hand.
