- Challenge
- The renovation of the flat represented an enjoyable challenge. In fact, the apartment passed through a total change, including the social areas and the private spaces.

- Realization and Technology
- Almost the entire body part of this apartment was made according to our sketches. This gave the interior a unified mood and freedom of expression. We zoned the common area of the living room , which was not only a connecting and attractive link of the entire space but also a functional solution.

The moving line allows people to pick up a red velvet cake with a cup of coffee in the dining room and come to the study. Or pour a glass of bubbly champagne and enjoy the night view on the terrace. When the sight and taste buds are satisfied, music can be heard on the phonograph in the living room.
