Narrow entrance hall and two rooms were merged into one spacious living and dining area. In order to keep the original plan perceptible, the walls were cut at 2,4m from floor and the upper parts were left "hanging". By rearranging the former service spaces a large bathroom with walk-through shower and bath, and a dressing were created. An oversized wooden panel mounted onto the wall replaced the unrepairabe original door to the bedroom, becoming one of the outspoken new elements in this historic context.
Refurbishment with an addaptation of the floor plan of an apartment in a historic building in the centre of Riga. Project includes interior and bespoke furniture design (such as kitchen, kitchen table, wardrobe, sofa, cupboard in the living room and bathroom, mirrors, the bench and the clothes rack).
