The project consists of the rehabilitation of an uninhabited apartment, representative of 1970s residential architecture.
With solid construction and a well-structured floor plan, the space proves to be an excellent starting point for the undertaken renovation. The presence of original materials such as carpets, wallpaper with expressive patterns, and decorative glass served as inspiration for a reinterpretation of the domestic life of the era, through a surgical yet contemporary approach.

The intervention sought to preserve the identity of the apartment by enhancing its most emblematic elements. The wood paneling and textured glass were carefully restored, taking on a central role in defining the apartment’s new character, particularly evident in the kitchen design. Recontextualized, these elements contribute to an atmosphere where memory subtly intersects with the present.

The eccentricity of the original wallpapers is translated into the new materiality of the project through color. Dark-toned ceilings, vibrant walls, and a carefully curated color palette in the décor extend the visual intensity of the original apartment.

The door frames were replicated from the existing elements, while new doors were designed in a language consistent with the preserved originals, featuring vertical wooden slats that shape and structure these new pieces, reinforcing the formal continuity within the inhabited space.

This rehabilitation celebrates the essence of the 1970s, reinterpreting it with sensitivity and revealing the potential of everyday architecture that, even decades later, continues to offer both character and comfort.
