Vintage at the core: a 1901 rental shaped around 1970s originals.

Located in a house built in 1901, this rental apartment renovation was developed around existing 1970s furniture pieces that carried strong character and history. Instead of replacing them, the design approach embraced these elements as the foundation of the interior identity.
The new kitchen and spatial adjustments were carefully integrated to respect the building’s architecture while giving the vintage pieces a fresh and contemporary context. Warm wood tones, bold ceramic tiles, and clean lines create contrast without competing with the original elements.
Designed as a rental for a visually confident tenant with an appreciation for detail, the apartment balances personality with practicality — preserving identity while adapting the space for modern living.
