Original space was a dreary attic apartment, with little light, small windows, and low ceilings. The roof was poorly insulated and had leaks. There was a terrace on one side and a porch on the other, both barely connected to the interior of the home.

The roof was rebuilt, preserving the original single-slope geometry but incorporating thermal insulation over the wooden beams and resolving the water leakage issues. During construction, when the suspended ceilings were removed, wood-boring termit damage was discovered, so it was decided to replace the beams as well.

To improve the connection between the interior and exterior spaces, openings were enlarged, creating a sense of greater spaciousness and bringing natural light into every corner of the house.

The space is organized with few partitions—only those essential for ensuring privacy in the bedrooms and bathroom. Visual contact and open connections between rooms are emphasized.

New multicolored stoneware flooring was installed, featuring a pattern of various solid tones and two joint widths. It functions like a tapestry that seems to flow beneath the partitions and unifies all the spaces.

The furniture and interior woodwork are bespoke from birch plywood. The new ceiling and beams are also made of wood and left exposed. In contrast, the exterior window and door frames are made of lacquered aluminum. Traditional wooden roller shades are installed for sun protection.

A significant reduction in energy demand is achieved by incorporating insulation in walls and ceilings. Steel-plate radiators and a ducted heat pump air conditioning system are installed. Ceiling fans are also installed to improve comfort during the transitional seasons.

The use of natural materials and a clean, uncomplicated design creates a pleasant and flexible environment. The goal is to strike the right balance to ensure high-quality spaces without limiting the degree of personalization for the people living there.
