Travelers Tale by Goodnova-Godiniaux is a clever and flexible apartment design idea. Created for a world traveler who decided to put down his suitcases in Moscow, the project responds directly to the owner’s mobile lifestyle. The home feels ready for a longer stay, yet many of its details still carry the spirit of departure and movement.
Apartment Design Idea: Compact, Flexible And Personal
The owner chose Goodnova-Godiniaux for the Moscow project. Despite the distance and logistical complications, the Paris-based studio created a compact modern home for a traveler. The brief was to make the apartment both functional and personal. A custom module organizes the small rooms and reduces the need for freestanding furniture. Each room has its own character: a cement-tile rug in the kitchen, distinctive tilework in the shower, a flat screen that mimics a shelf in the study and decorative hot-air-balloon tiles in the bathroom.
A Collaborative Apartment Design For A Traveler
The oversized trunk is the apartment’s most memorable feature. It gathers many pieces of luggage into a single ordered composition, turning storage into part of the interior architecture. To save space, the designers used mirrors, built-in cabinetry and carefully planned wood and leather details. Portuguese craftsmen helped refine the making process, so that all the details of the apartment idea could be fully developed. The collaboration between Russia, France and Portugal gives this compact modern apartment its distinctive character.
