An apartment of a multicultural family with roots in Europe and Asia, was renovated with a view to showcasing the cultural wealth in a playful and light-hearted manner.
The renovation that focused on the main entrance, kitchen and 2 bathrooms maximized the dialogue of different textures and materials while opening it up to the light.
The kitchen is now a canvas for the harmonious interaction of materiality and texture, evoking a sense of tranquility, openness and joy. Two walls have been replaced by corresponding ceramic walls, an emblematic structure visible from all of the apartment’s main spaces, intensely tactile and suggestive in its play with light, providing the apartment with a clear identity.
The intriguing dialogue of materials is carried on in the bathrooms. In the main one, concrete finishes as well as metal create an atmosphere of casual intimacy, while a smaller one serving the family’s teens gives off a sense of cheeky punk-rock vitality.
The project is completed with the main entrance remodel which incorporates an airy handmade bookcase, its size and clear, see-through simplicity affecting the user’s overall perception of scale and rhythm.
