The apartment is located within a refined residential building, whose character is already evident in the rationalist language of its entrance hall.
Upon entering, the apartment reveals itself gradually through a continuous sequence of rooms connected by visual and physical thresholds. At the centre of this system lies the kitchen, completely rethought as the core of the home.
Enclosed by custom-made burgundy glazed partitions, the kitchen becomes a central volume that is both practical and relational, turning food preparation into a shared gesture connected to the rest of the home.
Around this nucleus, the living area takes shape through the union of three former rooms. Each retains its own identity, yet all are held together by visual and material continuity. Underfoot, the original panelled parquet flooring has been carefully restored and runs uninterrupted throughout the space, while above, a fine burgundy line traces the walls, marking their height. The apartment’s original geometry is embraced rather than concealed: structural columns are integrated into custom oak joinery housing bookshelves and built-in seating, transforming a constraint into a functional device that organises space and encourages interaction.
The result is a carefully balanced dialogue between permanence and transformation. Original elements such as the parquet flooring are reactivated through a new system of spatial and material interventions that redefine domestic life. What emerges is a home that adapts naturally, welcomes and connects, built around a renewed centre and a more fluid, living continuity — one that holds past memories while making room for new ones.
