The interior of the house is whimsically unique. The ceilings are high, instilling an [industrial-like feeling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhaus-budapest-apartment) to the space and amplifying the influx of light, allowing the rooms too be airy and look bigger. HAO Design chose to inject a light color scheme into part of the classically modern home. As the building spans [four and a half floors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-seven-floors), the firm had ample space to be liberal with its inspiration. While the lower floors are quite kid-friendly and playful, the upper levels shift into a darker and elegant space that is informed by contemporary industrialism.
