The kitchen was relocated and redesigned as an open-plan space with custom-built wooden shelving, and all bathrooms were updated to modern standards. A double-height living room was created, and the attic was converted into a home cinema and additional bedroom, fully utilizing previously dormant space. Original features – including antique workbenches and structural elements – were carefully preserved and integrated with new materials, joinery, fluted wall coverings, and custom closets.

Structural challenges were significant: modifying the roof, creating the double-height living area, and installing a heavy steel staircase with independent support – all within a fourth-floor walk-up building. New systems for HVAC, electric shutters, and lighting were installed to meet modern performance and comfort standards.

Through reclaimed and vintage elements sourced across Europe, thoughtful spatial planning, and creative detailing, the penthouse embodies personality, charm, and functionality, making it an in-demand rental property in a highly desirable area.
