A livable sculpture — This apartment is inspired by the Suprematist movement founded by Kazimir Malevich, with a direct reference to his painting Black Square and Red Square. Geometric purity is translated into spatial composition, creating a minimal yet powerful interior. Designed around a central black plexiglass structure that supports the bed, the unit embodies abstract geometry in both form and concept.
