This apartment has been fully renovated in a way to combine the style from the existing residential building of the 60s with the new trends and was set up to serve day rental purposes. The long and narrow plan of the existing apartment was not helpful for the new concept, yet, the «two side» perspective guided the result.
The partly open plan kitchen, the change of use of the wc to a shower room and the replacing of the dining room enhanced the functionality needed. All the home appliances (kitchen & bathroom) have been changed, mosaic old flooring turned to concrete mortar, partly walling has been demolished to give space and the appropriate minimal design continuity and perspective. A bespoke architectural lighting design helped also to deliver a great final result. Wood, glass and concrete were the basic materials for the new concept. ...
Part of the old furniture has been restored and recycled and gained new purpose, such as the dining table and chairs, the armchair and the sofa in front of the entrance. The representative recycled item «icon» of this project was the wooden window shutters which turned to shelve cover for lighting effect at the corridor. Some special detailed materials were also designed and manufactured to combine certain old parts with the new style and furniture (for example the wooden linear frame finishing of the dining room ceiling).
