The concept emerged as a quiet balance between past and present. A muted, warm palette runs throughout the space, reminiscent of the yellowed pages of an old book. It sets a soft retro atmosphere—enveloping and deeply familiar. Creating a contrast, certain rooms introduce a stronger, more defined character. The kitchen unfolds in deep burgundy tones, anchored by a mosaic floor composed partly of original tiles preserved from the grandmother’s time—fragments of the past woven into a new composition. Grandmother’s painted portrait in sky blue was chosen as a centrepiece that sets the tone for the living room interior. The blue colour spills out of the portrait's farme and feels up the living room with heaven hues that gradually extend onto adjacent surfaces such as a custom made hand-woven gradient rug.

Rather than preserving the apartment as it was, the project reinterprets it—creating a space where memory is not fixed, but quietly continues to live.
