Apartment Renovation Project in a 1972 Building
Originally, these were two separate apartments that had been merged by the previous owners. In the renovation, we restored them as two independent units and redesigned the layouts and zoning

The goal of the project was to create spaces equally suitable for permanent living and attractive as summer residences for buyers from Northern Europe
Layout Solutions and Functionality
In the entrance area, space was provided for a chest of drawers and a mirror. If needed, future owners can replace them with a full-size wardrobe
On the terrace, areas were designed for installing a water softener and additional storage
In the kitchen, open shelves were used to create a sense of lightness; the system can easily be expanded if required
Storage systems were selected from the IKEA collection, allowing for flexible replacement of internal modules
For maximum ergonomics in bathrooms, wall-mounted cabinets with integrated lighting were added above the sinks

Materials and Style
The flooring is local Vinisalem marble, characteristic of the regional architecture
The sanitary fixtures are finished in matte black — a universal and contemporary solution
The wall color is white with a subtle gray undertone, enhancing the sense of light and space
Textiles include linen curtains, while blackout functionality is provided by blinds
The furniture is minimalist: beds without headboards make the rooms feel more spacious, and a bouclé fabric sofa creates the impression of a light “cloud”

Comfort and Details
All rooms feature two lighting scenarios: bright built-in ceiling lights and soft LED ambient lighting
At the client’s request, a shower was added on the terrace — more of a personal whim than a functional necessity
For the bathrooms, floor drains with a tile-insert water trap were selected, with the option to switch to a “dry” system to prevent odors during long absences

The main concept of the project was to create practical and adaptable spaces that remain bright, modern, and comfortable, while preserving a sense of lightness and Mediterranean character
