Background
A 30-year-old school-district flat: poor light, aging pipes, scant storage. The owners wanted to keep the location while radically improving livability.
Strategy
- Bring in light: enlarge interior windows; a light palette draws daylight deep inside
- Unify materials: micro-cement + wood reduces visual clutter for a cleaner whole
- Renew systems: full re-plumbing and rewiring, hidden works done right once
- Built-in storage: cabinets in corridors and corners consolidate scattered space
Result
An old flat’s weaknesses are often exactly where design can shine.
After renovation the home is bright and open, living like new — proof that a tired flat can leap in quality through design.
