K16

Can yesterday's home become today's way of living?

K16 uncovers the hidden potential of a century-old apartment,

revealing a continuous way of living within a sequence of separate rooms.

Behind the modest façade of an early twentieth-century apartment lay a home defined by repetition: room after room, window after window, each following the logic of another time.

Rather than fighting that rhythm, we embraced it.

By carefully rethinking the connections between spaces, the apartment became unexpectedly circular—a continuous sequence of rooms that invites movement, light and everyday life to flow naturally.

Raw concrete, black steel, solid oak and carefully preserved original elements complete an interior that feels both unmistakably contemporary and deeply rooted in its past.
