After their children left, a couple was looking for a massive transformation to their 250m2 apartment. With new specialties, details and furniture selection, it was turned into a home, generating new uses adapted for two people. Focus was made from technological renovation (home automation) to attention to detail, bringing light and warmth to each of its corners.
Two former bedrooms were reshaped into a space for multiple uses, characterized by a light sliding partition. Contrasts between colors, textures and finishing touches stand out. The new layout of this sector, along with its bathroom and hall, make it function as an independent department within the project: an ideal setting for the guest to feel at home.
The master bedroom was redesigned into a Master Suite with enough comforts to enjoy the entire day without having to move away from it.
The opening of the kitchen to the living room generated a new setting characterized by a modern home immersed in a library. The location of mirrors reflecting light and views was strategically chosen.
An old apartment was transformed into a modern house with all its usable spaces, adapted to the scale of two people.
