Carnaxide

The kitchen, living room and bedrooms had dated finishes and little visual continuity. The renovation aimed to make the apartment brighter and more coherent while retaining features such as the stone fireplace.

• Removal and preparation — removing finishes and elements that made the rooms feel disjointed.
• Kitchen renovation — introducing light-coloured cabinetry and new work surfaces.
• Connecting the rooms — laying timber flooring in the living areas and bedrooms.
• Final finishes — using light paint colours and retaining the stone fireplace as a focal point.

• A lighter palette — white surfaces, timber and natural light replace the heavier appearance of the previous finishes.
• Material continuity — timber flooring connects the living room, bedrooms and circulation areas.
• Retained character — the stone fireplace remains a focal point in the renovated living room.
