Works#2014

Our company assisted with the complete renovation of a rental apartment complex consisting of six buildings built 27 years ago. Based on the theme of "a hotel with a New York fireplace," the charm of the space is maximized by making use of the existing architecture while adding new concept design. Combining the original sauna and shower room with the bathroom made it possible to create a spacious bathroom, and the unused fireplace was brought back to life by renewing the equipment and materials and setting up a firewood shed in the garden. Natural materials such as solid wood, stone, and plaster walls were used to create a high-quality, relaxing space. The owner of the property actually said, "It feels wonderful every time I come back." Areas of responsibility: Concept concept design, furniture and fixture manufacturing, schematic design, removal
