Summary
Multidisciplinary design studio Weinbenami has completed a delicate renovation of a 1960s modernist apartment in Antwerp that originally belonged to the owner's grandparents. The project involved subtly updating the space while preserving its original character, mixing new elements with existing 1960s features. The apartment was previously covered in aged wallpaper, filled with furniture, and felt confined, but the renovation aimed to maintain the soul of the modernist architecture while improving functionality and aesthetics.
