Bridge 18/2
One of the main things we had to think of extremely carefully was coving which the couple had inherited from the previous owner of the apartment. Most of it could not be restored and needed to undergo more serious process so we had to carefully remove it, as well as its matrix and reinstall it by hand.
The windows were the thing that neither we nor our customers wanted to change. They looked shabby, but still really impressive and played a key role in creating the atmosphere we aimed at. We applied a technique of repeating the shapes of the windows for the doorways in order to create a balanced space.
The parquet could not be restored but its replacement did not affect the general concept in any way, because the apartment looks quite modern thanks to the drywall structures.
We also installed the lighting along all plaster slab constructions which performs several functions. Among them are practical, which enables evening lighting, and decorative as we wanted to focus visual attention on the original coving and the lighting performed this task quite well.
To add some personality to the common room we put a colourful but still minimalistic drawing on its wall. Having other walls free of details the owners have a possibility to hang some other paintings or sketches they will collect with time.
