The project unfolds the transformation of an apartment situated in a 1930s provincial Secession building. The minimally invasive intervention proposes the preservation of any and all original elements, the reconstruction of those damaged beyond repair or replaced, followed by the construction of a contemporary reality in permanent dialogue with the said elements.
The result is an identitary space formed by a succession of rooms with specific functions, unified by the black stained hardwood floor, bordered by white walls outlined by the exposed wiring and cork and marble paneling, connected by the original or remade carpentry and suspended luminaries adapted to the destination, scale and furnishings of each room. The eclectic selection of furniture pieces, comprising inherited pieces, ateliercetrei creations and iconic pieces enforce the main idea of the project: a house that constantly reminds us where we come from, who we are and what our aspirations are.
