The request was clear: this apartment was to be prepared for the rental market through a limited intervention.
Although the housing was mostly in its original state, the plumbing infrastructure required a full renovation. The strategy involved intervening only on the walls essential for installing new connections, reducing the impact of the work and preserving existing elements as much as possible.
In the kitchen, the goal was to maintain its identity by restoring the original upper cabinets, combined with new lower cabinets and a new countertop. This combination allowed for an update to the kitchen’s functionality without stripping away its character.
In the remaining rooms, the intervention was simple and careful. Painting and renewing the finishes restored freshness and light, demonstrating that not all transformations need to be profound.
The result is a balanced renovation where every decision sought to reconcile functionality, durability, and respect for the original elements, preparing the apartment for a new beginning.
