Atelier Kruunu

interior renovation 1997
Kruununhaka, Helsinki

design Pekka Harni

The renovation of an old atelier in the heart of Helsinki aimed to create a new kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area above the existing space.

The main focus was given to finding a compact and elegant solution that would fit this old environment. The fact that the entrance to this space is located 72 cm above the floor level provided a spatially challenging starting point for the design. 

Another challenge was finding a suitable solution for the sleeping balcony, as the total room height was just 320 cm. As a result, these challenges led to the creation of a unique interior space that is not only functional and space-saving but also fascinating.
