Embrace Modern Minimalism With the Innovative “Box in the Box” Apartment

Designer Mateusz Jóźwiak, of Photon Studio, became his own client when designing the Box in the Box Apartment for himself and partner in Poznań, Poland. The finished apartment showcases a perfect blend of spaciousness, functionality, and natural materials, all centered around a clever, light-colored birch plywood structure.

From the start of the project, Jóźwiak’s vision was to create a utilitarian yet visually striking space that began by removing most of the original walls. Light-colored birch plywood now forms individual rooms and brings the “box in a box” concept to life. Cleverly hidden storage cabinets leave the bedroom and office area uncluttered, helping to exude the feeling of spaciousness and tranquility.

The open living room benefits from the box with peg shelves that display their books, and lower cabinets that hold their electronic devices. In contrast, the private area of the apartment is housed within the monolithic and inverted structure for privacy.

The combined dining area and living room, with its understated elegance, features a round wooden table and chairs that create an inviting place to dine, while a comfortable sofa encourages relaxation. A reinforced concrete ceiling, holding up black track lighting, mirrors the polished concrete floors for a touch of an industrial modern aesthetic.

A mostly subdued and monochromatic palette, from sand greys in the concrete to the natural tones of the wood, infuse a timeless feel. The occasional burst of color shows up in the accessories, books, and plants.
