When choosing an apartment, the usable floor area is, more often than not, one of the first criteria we consider; however, the comfort of a home is not measured solely in square meters. Ceiling height, the proportions of the spaces, natural light, and the layout are all elements that significantly influence the living experience.
In premium residential architecture, each of these details contributes to creating a balanced, functional space tailored to a contemporary lifestyle.
At AXXIS Nova Resort & SPA, the residential concept emphasizes generous living spaces, efficient layouts, and architectural solutions that leverage the complex’s privileged, beachfront location on the Black Sea.
Room height. More space, beyond the usable floor area.
One of the factors that influences the perception of a home is the height of its rooms. Two apartments with the same usable floor area can create completely different impressions, depending on the distance between the floor and the ceiling. A greater height contributes to the perception of an airy space, offers more freedom in interior design, and allows for the inclusion of large-scale decorative elements.
Both in the Madrid building—the first to be completed within AXXIS Nova Resort & SPA—and in the Monte Carlo building, currently under construction, the apartments feature a ceiling height of 2.90 meters, an architectural detail that contributes to a sense of generous space.
Beyond its visual impact, this feature offers a wider range of design possibilities. Pendant lights, tall furniture, curtains and drapes mounted close to the ceiling, or vertical decorative elements can be integrated harmoniously without making the space feel visually cluttered.
Furthermore, when the height of the rooms is paired with generous glazed surfaces, the result is a home in which proportions and natural light complement each other.
Natural light and the role of glazed surfaces
Natural light is an essential element in contemporary architecture. It influences both the atmosphere of a home and the way the dimensions and proportions of rooms are perceived. Large windows help create a visual connection between the interior and the exterior, reducing the sense of spatial boundaries.
For apartments located by the seaside, glazed surfaces also serve an important architectural purpose: showcasing the landscape and integrating the view into everyday life.
Terraces – a natural extension of the interior space
The terrace also transcends the role of a simple outdoor space. It can become an extension of the living room—a place for relaxation, socializing, or spending time in the open air.
The dimensions of the terrace, the access from the interior, and its relationship with the other rooms all shape the perception of the entire home. At AXXIS Nova Resort & SPA, these elements are part of a residential concept where architecture and functionality are conceived in tandem. Because, beyond the square footage shown on a floor plan, the true value of a home lies in how the space meets the needs of those who call it home.
