Renovation of a three-room apartment for a young artist couple and their young daughter. The design was developed in close dialogue to ensure that the result reflected the lifestyle of the fashion designer and the audiovisual artist. A black core became the heart of the layout - an object built into the centre of the apartment that serves as both storage space and play area. Its surface of cement chipboard transforms into a painter's canvas and the apartment is completed with children's chalk drawings. The original glass wall has been retained and supports the idea of a fluid layout - the space flows freely around a central core.

The furniture and lighting were chosen with an emphasis on changeability - allowing new moods and scenes to be created, according to the rhythm of the day and mood. A pull-out bed that turns into a sofa during the day, with versatility and lively household operation in mind.
