Un loc care nu și-a pierdut memoria

The design of this apartment brings out what already made sense: the restored parquet, the old mosaic in the hallway and kitchen, the soft light and the balanced proportions of the space. Everything was built around the client, so that the place resembles her naturally: warm, personal, alive and settled.

Kitchen: a tall column of wood-veneer cabinets, open arched shelves with ceramics, pale wall cabinets, a plant on the worktop and wooden blinds.

Bedroom with herringbone parquet, looking towards the hallway: a wardrobe with mirrored doors, a white door open onto an arched hallway with shelves and a yellow vase of dried grasses.

Some apartments do not ask to be reinvented, only to be listened to more attentively. That was the case here. The space already had a few things worth keeping: the old parquet, the mosaic in the hallway and kitchen, the good light and those simple proportions that give a home its calm. Instead of covering these things up, we chose to work with them and let them set the tone for the whole design.

Dining area: a round wooden table with upholstered chairs in beige tones, a white pendant lamp, sheer white curtains, a rounded cream rug and herringbone parquet.

View through an arched doorway into the kitchen: wooden base cabinets, a small window with wooden blinds, a blue runner on the floor and a plant with red leaves.

Arched hallway: a mirrored wardrobe, a slim console with a gold-toned frame and glass top, rugs with red and blue stripes and a glass ceiling light.

A kitchen seen through an arch: pale grey wall cabinets, green tiles, tall wooden cabinets, a black oven and hob, track spotlights and shelves with small plants.

The project was built very much around the way the client wants to live: close to the objects that represent her, to plants, to warm textures and to an atmosphere that makes her feel protected. The interior does not aim for a spectacular effect but for a form of naturalness. Every choice came from the wish to keep the memory of the place and, at the same time, to bring it closer to the person who lives in it now. The result is a calm, personal and lively apartment, in which the past has not been erased but integrated. A place that keeps its beautiful traces and, precisely because of that, has more depth, more warmth and more truth.

A narrow loggia: a rattan chair, a round side table with a plant in a terracotta pot, shelves of plants, a pink framed picture and wooden blinds.

Green tiles beneath pale cabinets, two plants in terracotta pots on a wooden stand and the shadows of blinds across the cabinet doors.
