Old town apartment renovation, J1
Some homes are shaped as much by what’s kept as by what’s changed. This apartment sits inside a 19th-century building with neo-Gothic features — tall windows, generous ceilings, traces of the past written into the structure itself. And we chose not to erase that past. Instead, we worked with it. Highlighted it. Let it speak.

Not fashionable — timeless. The brief was simple: make it feel calm, warm, quietly inspiring.
The original brick walls became a focal point — not covered, not corrected, but revealed. They anchor the space with texture and memory. Around them, we introduced new layers: mouldings on walls and ceilings that reinterpret classic forms, not replicate them. A quiet nod to tradition, shaped with contemporary precision. Modern details were introduced not to overpower, but to contrast: seamless doors, lights that dissolve into plaster, brushed stainless steel, terrazzo inlays that gently interrupt expected lines. Wall mouldings don’t wrap the room — they stop short, unfinished by design. Floors in herringbone oak ground the space, while red travertine adds warmth and depth.
The palette is earthy, tactile: honey oak, bleached wood, soft terrazzo, and lighting that glows rather than glares.
Nothing shouts. Everything breathes. We don’t believe in interiors that try too hard. This one doesn’t. It’s confident in its stillness — in the way old and new meet without conflict. A home that isn’t chasing trends, but holding space. A place to live. To think. To feel the past without being trapped in it. To move forward, slowly, with care.
