Renovation and Interior Design of A Jugend Style Apartment 

 

The apartment was renovated at the same time as the rest of the Jugend style building underwent a comprehensive pipe renovation. Suspended ceilings and plastic floor mats from the 1970’s as well as some unnecessary circulation spaces were taken out. All of the fixed pieces of furniture were designed expressly for this home, including a modular sofa by the living room window, footstools that double as fold-up beds for guests, and a wooden sideboard and dining table for the kitchen.
