<rt-red>The former home had a distinctive Art-Deco-like curved silhouette, which inspired the profile of the new home and of its balconies. Brick, a material deeply embedded in the city's historical fabric, has been chosen for being timeless and maintenance-free, and bringing warmth to the structure.<rt-red> 12-metre-tall brick fins strung on steel rods rise vertically across the facade to give the bedrooms privacy from adjacent structures. Spatially, each of the four floors is divided into two apartments, to give each owner the option to lease out one space and retain the other for themselves if needed, yet with the flexibility to flow as one large apartment across the entire floor. 

Elements from the former home have been reused where possible. Millwork, railings and custom-designed Art-Deco elements from the old house—railings, doors, staircases—have been used throughout the new building, imbuing the new spaces with a touch of nostalgia for the bygone. The result is a well-proportioned building with a warm and inviting atmosphere, achieved through the use of earthy materials such as brick, wood, and stone. The design elements chosen reflect the clients' desire for a modern and sustainable building that still pays homage to the past.
