The design draws from the owner's preference for dark wood textures, translating them into a palette of black, gray, and white. Thread board and stretched leather fabric extend the detailing of the original space, while a restrained use of wood texture refines the overall atmosphere. A strategic division of movement defines internal and external zones, with a door marking the transition. The living area remains open for communication, while the private spaces offer a sense of retreat and security.
