Article source: Mooza architecture The task assigned by a young couple included a complete renovation of their parents´ former flat in order to turn it into a modern and fresh space. Another interesting feature was the positioning of a high- capacity fish tank into the living room.The main characteristic of the former flat plan was an over-sized double entrance space which occupied an excessive amount of space.

We unified the whole floor space, including the bathroom and the toilet, by using red-brown marmoleum flooring. The original room layout i.e. the living room, the kitchen and the entrance hall remained preserved due the installation of a multifunctional wooden building room divider. In the entrance hall it serves as a shoe cabinet, in the kitchen and the living room it offers extra storage place. The adjacent dining table is at the same height as the built-in fish tank.

The most striking feature is the quartzite mosaic on the back wall of both rooms.
