N.H. Evi
An apartment shaped by absence — empty surfaces, soft daylight, and a single dark accent wall that gives the room its centre of gravity.
A modern family apartment in restrained greys and whites opening to a city view.

Project Narrative
The clients had spent a decade in maximalist apartments — colour, pattern, collection. They asked for the opposite. We gave them an interior built almost entirely from grey and white, where the only ornament is a dark TV wall that frames the city beyond.
Decisions were made by subtraction. Every shortlisted material had to justify itself against an emptier alternative; if it could not, it was removed from the palette.
The walls are washed in a single warm white. Floors are large-format porcelain in a pale grey. The dark wall is solid walnut, and a single pendant — chosen as the room's only piece of jewellery — hovers above the dining table.
The apartment is described by friends as monastic in the best sense — quiet, deliberate, restorative. The clients say they had not realised, until they moved in, how much they had been missing the silence.
