Set within a former city mill, this bachelor apartment is a refined expression of individuality, creativity, and quiet confidence. Designed by Novamobili, the space has been transformed into a home-cum-studio for a contemporary bachelor—one who values light, calm, and character in equal measure.
Here, the old and the new exist in conversation. Industrial textures sit comfortably alongside refined finishes, resulting in a space that feels grounded yet elevated.

Corner for Thought and Reflection
For moments of stillness, Novamobili designed a dedicated reading nook—an intimate retreat within the larger open-plan layout.
Using a bookcase as a subtle divider, the space offers privacy without sacrificing light. It’s the perfect balance: quiet enough for reading and reflection, yet visually connected to the rest of the home. As with all great design, functionality and atmosphere go hand in hand.

The Lounge: Work, Relaxation, and Everyday Rituals
The lounge is the true heart of the home—a multifunctional space where work and relaxation naturally overlap. Designed to support the bachelor’s daily rhythm, it accommodates focused working hours as effortlessly as evening downtime.
Comfortable seating, layered textures, and understated masculine tones make this space inviting without feeling over-designed. It’s a room made to be lived in, not merely admired.

Dining for One—or Many
While everyday life may be solitary, the dining area transforms on weekends into a setting for entertaining friends. Open and connected to the lounge, it allows conversation to flow freely while still offering a sense of occasion.
This dual-purpose approach reflects the homeowner’s lifestyle: independent yet social, private yet welcoming.

The Bedroom: A Personal Sanctuary
More than a place to sleep, the bedroom is a haven for relaxation and self-expression. As a collector of vintage clothing and accessories, the homeowner’s wardrobe plays a central role in the design.
Novamobili created a storage solution that doesn’t hide this passion, but celebrates it—allowing garments and accessories to be both stored and displayed. The wardrobe becomes a personal gallery, where fashion tells the story of identity, taste, and history.
Character, Craft, and Contemporary Masculinity
Throughout the apartment, subtle colour accents add vibrancy without overpowering the space. Masculine, industrial-style furnishings anchor the interiors, while softer materials and thoughtful detailing bring warmth and balance.
The result is a home that honours the building’s artistic heritage while reflecting the homeowner’s personality and passions. It’s confident, calm, and unmistakably personal—a bachelor pad designed not just to impress, but to endure.
