- Functionality: A highly functional architectural kitchen and a smart lighting system.

BEFORE THE RENOVATION
Condition: The existing interior suffers from a tired aesthetic, outdated finishes, and a lack of stylistic cohesion (“dullness”).
Potential: Despite the visual fatigue, the apartment holds exceptional architectural bones. The main opportunity lies in the spatial layout, which offers great potential for redevelopment to unlock the true value of the square footage.
AFTER THE RENOVATION
