Luxury Lifestyle Awards is thrilled to announce that NPA Studio – Nedžla Potogija Architects Studio has been awarded the Best Luxury Interior Design for Small Spaces in Bosnia and Herzegovina for their outstanding work on Apartment 13. This prestigious accolade recognizes NPA Studio’s expertise in expertly merging historical charm with contemporary luxury, optimizing compact living spaces with innovative, high-end interior design solutions.

Founded in 2008 in Wiesbaden, Germany, NPA Studio is a globally recognized architecture and interior design firm with offices in Wiesbaden and Sarajevo. The firm specializes in residential, commercial, and public building projects, offering high-end architectural and interior design services that blend tradition with modernity.

Apartment 13, originally constructed in 1920, is nestled in the location of Sarajevo within a historic Austro-Hungarian residential building. Prior to its renovation, the apartment had been unoccupied for two years and bore visible signs of age, including damaged floors, deteriorating walls and ceilings, and worn-out windows and doors. NPA Studio’s transformation of the space reinvented its functionality, achieving a perfect balance between classic elegance and modern comfort.

“The concept of Apartment 13 was to enhance the livability of a historic space while preserving its timeless architectural elements,” said Nedžla Potogija, Founder and Director of NPA Studio. “Through careful planning, we redesigned the layout, shifting the living area into what was once the bedroom, and repurposing the former kitchen into a private bedroom. Our goal was to maximize space efficiency while honoring the apartment’s original character. Winning this award endorses our dedication to innovation and excellence in luxury interior design.”

The meticulous restoration of Apartment 13 included:

• Reimagined layout to optimize space utilization
• Three-layered glass windows for energy efficiency
• Inverter technology air conditioning for sustainable climate control
• Seamless blend of historic high ceilings, intricate moldings, and modern furnishings
• Architectural design and supervision from concept to completion by NPA Studio

The success of Apartment 13 highlights NPA Studio’s reputation as a leader in luxury interior design for compact and historic spaces. Their expertise spans from urban planning and large-scale architectural projects to bespoke residential interiors, offering clients supreme design solutions that enhance both aesthetics and functionality.

Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce, praised the firm’s achievement: “NPA Studio has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to redefine luxury interior design in small spaces. Their work on Apartment 13 is a masterpiece that reflects the firm’s passion for excellence, sustainability, and timeless design.”
