In the hallway, the client’s need to house a large book collection was leveraged to design a bookshelf that simultaneously met this requirement, enhanced the circulation area, and created a seamless connection with the living room, as the unit extends into and continues within that space.
Regarding materials, the wood parquet flooring, characteristic of the building’s original construction period, was salvaged and restored, as were the existing interior doors. This approach achieved both a reduction in construction costs and the preservation of the apartment’s original features.
In the kitchen, relocating the entrance door allowed for a more efficient layout, featuring continuous countertops on both sides and optimized storage, making it feasible to demolish the existing pantry.
In the new millwork, veneers and lacquered finishes bridge the gap between the home’s existing materials and the new ones.
In the en-suite bedroom, the existing bathroom was removed to increase the room’s usable area. Consolidating the home’s larger bathroom into two separate ones allowed for optimized space usage while retaining two bathrooms equipped with showers.
