A second arch marks a transition between the bar and laundry
room area, which are set back from the apartment. It features
the same natural stone as in the kitchen, as well as stained cherry
wood cabinets matching the existing windows and exterior doors.
Once an open concept, the area is now sectioned off to improve its
functionality.

The bathroom’s redesign is in line with the overall materiality of the
project. The cherry wood hue is a consistent choice for the design
of the vanity. A cream-coloured mosaic is used for the shower walls
and flooring to provide airiness to the tapered space.

The office, adjacent to the master bedroom, is separated by French
doors, allowing borrowed light into the space. The small hanging
storage added to the existing alcove creates a contrast between old
and new.

Consequently, the project’s light and welcoming mood are brought
forward by the enhancement of the original elements and the
limited assortment of new materials. dw
