Concept project — portfolio demonstration
A renovation concept that threads a single oak millwork wall through a 96 m² apartment, absorbing storage, kitchen, desk and bath behind one crafted surface.
The concept
Project story
The Oak Apartment is a renovation concept for a typical city plan with too many doors and not enough storage. The concept removes the corridors and inserts one continuous oak millwork wall, folding back on itself through the apartment and absorbing everything that needs to disappear: wardrobes, kitchen, laundry, desk, even the bathroom entry.
What remains is a sequence of open, calm rooms. The plaster walls are kept plain so the oak line reads as architecture; travertine and brushed brass appear only at points of touch.
As a demonstration, the project studies how much a single crafted element can organise an ordinary plan — and how a renovation can add space not by extending, but by removing everything that interrupts.
Design approach
How the design thinks.
01
Spatial organization
The millwork wall replaces the corridor, and rooms become open bands along it; every function is folded into the wall.
02
Light
Tall windows on one side are matched by integrated lighting in the oak — the wall glows softly at the edges after dark.
03
Materials
One oak, one plaster, one stone: the palette is deliberately narrow so the craft is legible.
04
Circulation
Movement follows the oak line; recesses mark passages and turns without doors.
05
Interior atmosphere
Warm, precise and quiet — an apartment that feels handmade, with linen and books as the only decoration.
The entry — craft at the first touch.
