Something that was completely opened during the renovation. The walls of the kitchen were taken down and only an exposed concrete pillar remained that was known about but hidden within the walls. It was decided to leave it in its clean form, as a bare and visible concrete pillar and not to hide it again with a plaster wall. Next to the kitchen was the office which was enclosed by walls and loaded with shelves of various types.

Modern lighting fixtures in the form of sunken accumulation stripes were placed inside the ceiling, black stripes were chosen with sunken and semi-prominent light fixtures. The rest of the lighting fixtures were chosen in a round shape in white and they disappear in the eye when they are sunk into the ceiling.
