A complicated renovation.Our lovely clients purchased an approximately 85 m² apartment in very poor condition. It had been divided into two gloomy, basic apartments, with an entrance lobby serving one street-facing unit and one dual-aspect unit. We aimed to restore its quality through a complete transformation: a large living room with a kitchen and central island, two bedrooms, a generously proportioned bathroom with a bath and large tiled shower, a laundry and a dressing corridor.
Colour and geometric patterns were given full expression through tiles, materials and finishes.
Chevron parquet and new cornices bring refinement to the living spaces—the latter were absent from this traditional urban building—alongside cleverly positioned surface-mounted spotlights and beautiful Le Deun fittings.
We introduced our first rounded “bathtub” island, topped with fine stone, with solid fronts on the kitchen side and backlit slatted fronts towards the dining room.
LEDs highlight the joinery, while backlit skirting in the dressing area makes the lacquered wardrobe doors appear to float.
Despite a turbulent construction phase involving façade works, relatively weak basement foundations and a difficult contractor, the result fulfils our clients’ hopes.
