Reinventing a Small Space in a Postwar Building

Architects: sculpta

In an aristocratic residential neighborhood known for retaining the mid-twentieth century charm, sculpta architects found a small hidden space in a Postwar Building.

Spread over just 52 sqm, it still had the old terracotta stoves and floors made of solid wood. Before the discovery, the space had remained untouched, with its now yellowed walls reminiscent of the bygone years.
