"We covered them with mirrored panels to highlight the structure of the building and add a graphic element," says Vince (the material used is Dibond, which is reflective and has an attractive textured finish). "We wanted to embrace Dibond's slightly wavy look, which both contrasts with and complements the large mirrored wall.""
"Designed for cooking, eating, and entertaining, one first takes note of the large bar that opens onto the living room. This "flashy, colorful, Memphis" area is covered in a glossy lacquer that is both aesthetically appealing and practical, not only for its ability to capture light, but also to provide a new perspective on the apartment, which originally felt cramped."

The drop ceiling was removed to expose the apartment's original beams, which were covered with mirrored Dibond panels to highlight the building structure and add a graphic element.

Secondhand ceiling lights were repurposed to extend height, and the refrigerator was integrated with a tile frame.
