We assisted with the complete renovation of a 27-year-old rental apartment building consisting of six buildings. Based on the theme of "a New York hotel with a fireplace," we maximized the appeal of the space by incorporating new concept design while preserving the existing architecture. By combining the original sauna and shower rooms with the bathroom, we were able to create a spacious bathroom. The unused fireplace was revived with new equipment and materials, and a woodshed was added to the garden. Natural materials such as solid wood, stone, and plaster walls were used to create a high-quality, relaxing space. The owners, who actually live there, commented, "It feels wonderful every time I come home." Our responsibilities: Concept concept design, furniture and fixture manufacturing, schematic design, demolition.
