Pre-war renovation / Tag

DWS Kochanowskiego unfolds inside an 80-square-meter (861-square-foot) apartment in Gdańsk, Poland, where Raca Studio works within a pre-war tenement envelope. The renovation respects the existing layout while restoring long-covered elements, giving a young pair of doctors a home that aligns new comforts with historic character. Warm tones, reawakened timber, and a measured mid-century mood tie the old structure to their daily routines.

West End “Grand Six” sits in New York, NY, United States, a pre-war apartment reshaped for generous entertaining and overnight guests. Allegra Kochman Architecture leads the renovation, translating a classic seven into connected rooms with better light, sightlines, and an accessible bath. The apartment, intended as a forever-home, balances gracious proportions with practical moves that support large groups and smaller conversations without losing the dignity of separate rooms.
