This renovation reimagines a residential interior through the lens of storage, identity, and spatial continuity.
The project starts from a practical need for additional storage within the kitchen. A full-height cabinet wall accommodates all functional requirements, while a decorative display wall creates a subtle separation from the kitchen island. Conceived as a flexible element, it allows personal objects to be rearranged over time, making the space inherently adaptable. Its refined detailing reappears throughout the interior, from the kitchen sink wall to the fitness room, establishing a consistent architectural language.
Daily functions are deliberately concealed: coffee machines disappear behind sliding panels, preserving a calm and sober atmosphere. A wooden block framework marks the transition between old and new, while a weathered bronze bar cabinet introduces a tactile contrast.
Inside and outside gently merge through a covered outdoor space with sliding panels that filter wind without blocking light. Wooden columns create a rhythmic, three-part structure that continues into the fitness extension, where a Japanese-inspired grid defines the transition between sauna and training space. This threefold rhythm is echoed in the exterior joinery, extending the architectural language from interior to facade.
Rather than a fixed design, this project offers an adaptable environment—precise in detail, personal in expression, and deliberately distinct from standard solutions.
