Renovation of a 90 sqm apartment in Poligono


This project explores a warm, atmospheric reinterpretation of a classic apartment, inspired by the quiet richness of the “dark academia” aesthetic. Soft green tones, natural oak textures, and muted earthy hues create a calm yet expressive interior, where everyday functions are framed by a sense of intimacy and depth.

Custom-built elements—such as the full-height library wall, integrated workspace, and kitchen cabinetry—were designed to bring coherence and character to the space, balancing traditional references with a contemporary clarity. In the bathroom, a softer palette and tactile materials introduce a more delicate, almost nostalgic atmosphere.

While the initial design envisioned a more extensive transformation, the final implementation was selectively realized, focusing on key interventions that preserve the essence of the concept.
