Salt is a renovation project where local materials, vintage objects, and preserved structural elements create a dialogue between past and present. To work more precisely with the context, we temporarily moved to Kaliningrad, gathering tactile and visual details for the interior from markets, workshops, and everyday explorations of the city. Found objects and elements with history became the emotional foundation of the space. This approach shaped a contemporary interior in which the depth of the place and its connection to the past remain clearly present.

Sol is a renovation built on a dialogue of cultures and respect for place. We preserved the emotional core of the space and gave it new depth through material and light. Asian contemplation and European expressiveness became two poles around which we built architectural balance.

The interior is based on locality: every material has real provenance and its own history. Kaliningrad ash, handmade ceramics, and found beams are not decorative—they are meaningful. Their presence restores authenticity and cultural connection to the land.

For the project, we temporarily relocated to Kaliningrad to fully feel the context. Trips, meetings, local markets, and artisans became the source of the tactile and visual code of the interior. Attention to place proved more important than belonging. Materials were chosen for their texture, truth, and integrity in relation to time.

Carved beams from an old stable were manually restored and became the emotional core of the ceiling relief. They support not the roof, but the atmosphere: silence, light, and history.

The fabric interior roof and soft overhead light evoke Japanese courtyard aesthetics. The lightbox resembles shoji paper, forming the sensation of diffuse daylight. Glass flower-shaped lamps refer to Eastern philosophy — capturing moments of nature frozen in motion. They carry the idea of wabi-sabi, transience, and inner growth.
