Keeping rather than replacing where the fabric is good: the parquet floor was sanded and resealed, and the kitchen was repaired rather than replaced. What was replaced is what noticeably improves daily life: the PVC flooring in the corridor and office gave way to a modern, easy-care carpet, the tap and dishwasher in the kitchen were renewed, the bathroom fittings were replaced and a heated towel rail was installed. New electrical connections were also added and the fuse protection was brought up to the current standard. The whole apartment was repainted.

Design, scheduling, cost control and site management were handled by Studio Wirz throughout.
