A renovated apartment in Shanghai

Artekt is an architecture and design agency with offices in Paris and Shanghai. This is their renovation of a tired and typical Shanghai apartment into a stylish contemporary space. The before and afters are amazing. I'm particularly taken with the bathroom transformation and the entrance/dining bar/lightbox is a clever use of the space. Bold colour adds warmth and clean lines improve the flow of the small apartment. Great to see design from this part of the world!

Wow, this is really amazing! I live in SH, and a lot of apartments actually do look like the before photos, and even then, it can be rented out for as much as 700USD/ month. The transformation looks great!!

Agree this is awesome and do-able. Agree with Julia. Such a design gap in china between normal apartments and high end...so rare to see a nicely done standard apartment.
