Blush and Steel Family Apartment

The steel shelving is the spine of the living room — a wall-fixed frame that carries books, the television and storage in one system, so nothing else has to be freestanding.

The kitchen is dark with an oak breakfast bar cantilevered off the island, which gives the children somewhere to sit without adding a second table.

The bedrooms are blush and pale, each with a fitted wardrobe and a desk, sized so two children can share without the room feeling divided.
