Developing a concept – rooms become functional living spaces with interior design
A good spatial concept doesn't happen by chance. Especially with condominiums in Basel, it's repeatedly evident: without a clear spatial concept, apartments either appear cluttered, impractical, or unbalanced. Furniture gets moved around, functions are improvised, and potential remains untapped. A professionally developed spatial concept ensures that rooms function logically, are aesthetically pleasing, and suit your everyday life in the long term. Interior design begins precisely here – with structured thinking about spaces.

Interior design - a spatial concept is the basis of all
A spatial concept defines how spaces are used, experienced, and interconnected. It answers fundamental questions: What functions are needed? How do people move within the space? Which zones require quiet, and which require activity?
A well-thought-out spatial concept:
clearly organizes functions
improved routes and processes
Creates a sense of spaciousness even in a small area
forms the basis for furniture, lighting and material concepts
Without a spatial concept, compromises often arise that can only be corrected later with great effort.

Challenges in spatial concept development
Existing floor plans
Many apartments in Basel have floor plans that no longer meet today's living needs. Interior design helps to reinterpret existing structures instead of blindly adopting them.
Multiple uses in one room
Living, working, eating, and relaxing often take place in the same room. Without clear zoning, the quality of each individual function suffers.
Lack of priorities
Not everything is equally important. A spatial concept sets priorities and creates clarity for decision-making.
