Design Highlights
Thoughtfully Refined Space
Original elements like doors and skirtings were preserved, while new additions in matching darker wood tones created a seamless and cohesive space.
Redefined Kitchen
The kitchen was redesigned with an open-concept layout that connects seamlessly to the dining area, while distinct tile colors and sliding doors define the space with subtle separation.
Functional Pantry, MUJI Style
Adjacent to the dining area, the pantry features the MUJI Stainless Unit Shelf (SUS), offering a practical, everyday solution for serving light meals and drinks with minimal built-in.
Adaptable Space for Everyday Life
Instead of built-ins, the space features modular and movable pieces-allowing the home to adapt easily for long-term living.
“Muji’s refreshing design masterfully transformed our 26-year-old condo into a modern and highly functional home. Their innovative use of sliding doors turned our dark kitchen and living room into one large, well-lit space, while still giving us the option of an enclosed cooking area. We were particularly impressed with the Kotenjo feature, which allowed for the installation of beautiful indirect lighting without sacrificing the spacious, high-ceiling feel of the original layout. The clever redesign of the master bathroom not only made it more compact and useful but also created an essential extra storage room, a critical addition for our family’s needs.”
