Marking the start of our journey as a design studio, this one held particular significance. The brief itself was compelling—a living space for a young fashion stylist with an unconventional sensibility. It presented an opportunity to set the tone for our future work, prompting us to push beyond our familiar aesthetic and respond to a distinctly individual vision.

​

The brief was to: “make everything black” and “I love the European vintage aesthetic.” What initially seemed straightforward soon revealed layers of complexity—balancing cost, working within existing site conditions, and conceptualizing a predominantly dark interior where walls and furniture would exist within the same tonal spectrum.

​

Given budget considerations, we chose to retain the existing beige marble flooring, allowing it to contrast against newly painted black walls. This decision resulted in a moody, modern shell—within which vintage-inspired elements could emerge with greater depth and character.
