Seam

Designed as a continuation of an ongoing series of small-scale renovations, this project reworks a 1930s two-room apartment in Malmö as a prototype for future homes aimed at young professionals. The design focuses on simplifying and opening up the existing layout. By removing the kitchen wall and internal doors, the plan is restructured into a more generous kitchen and dining space that becomes the centre of the home.

A subtle concrete strip is cast into the timber floor to trace the line of the former wall, retaining a quiet reference to the apartment's original organisation. Elsewhere, underused areas are reconsidered, with the typical halva reimagined as a more intimate living nook leading into a larger bedroom with integrated storage. The result is a more coherent and liveable apartment, where a series of precise interventions reshape the way the space is used without increasing its footprint.
