BATHROOM DETAIL

HOME RESIDENTIAL DESIGN

This housing project was developed for a client in Lomé who was considering demolishing a recently acquired house due to its very poor condition. For this, she requested plans for a new house that would perfectly reflect her personality and needs.

The design incorporates an airy façade, allowing for optimal natural ventilation.

The bedroom and kitchen were positioned on the first floor to maintain coolness.

A shaded rooftop was also added to protect the house from excessive heat, creating a comfortable and functional home suited to the local climate.

APARTEMENT‘S FLOORPLAN

This project involved designing a custom wooden shelving unit that spans the entire wall of the client’s bedroom. The work-process entailed close collaboration with the client, who suggested design ideas and sought advice remotely while providing site updates during construction.

This continuous communication allowed for adjustments to ensure that the design met the client’s functional and aesthetic needs. The shelving unit not only maximised storage but also complemented the room’s design, creating a harmonious and practical addition to the space.

FLOORPLAN

This project involved a complete renovation of a Berlin flat, along with its interior design. The scope of work included refurbishing every aspect of the space: walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors to create a fresh, modern look. In the bathroom, a new shower was installed and space was carefully arranged to store toiletries. The kitchen was reimagined to enhance its functionality and to aesthetically fit with the home’s general style. Throughout the process, special consideration was given to blending contemporary design with the flat’s existing architectural features. The result of the renovation fully reflects the client’s vision and also combines comfort, elegance, and practicality.
