This Highbury flat refurbishment transformed an unloved interior into a contemporary home. A focus on refined finishes and a muted colour palette was a key part of the brief. Natural materials and finishes were prioritised, with stone, timber and lime plaster used throughout.

This 80m² apartment in the new "Sobytie" residential complex is more than just a home—it’s a reflection of its owner: a 24-year-old woman who adores pastel tones and delicate details. The challenge was complex: to blend classical aesthetics with the lightness of minimalism, transforming the space into a "jewelry box."
