According to the architects: A space where spending time during breaks work: in a few words a "base camp", a "reference point". "Reborn" is an elusive apartment prototype, where the mix of materials, colors and lighting gives a touch of modernity and at the same time a sense of relax and friendly atmosphere.

The small space reuses all existing structures without any physical alteration of the premises. OSB panels envelop the existing furnishings, giving it a new face, while a layer of transparent glasses "support" the weight of the new ceramic floor.

The small bathroom is designed using all available space in which all specific functions have a great space to fruition. "Reborn" is a "hit and run" space, a "reference" space, a way of life. "Reborn" claims the hidden soul of these places; a soul that must be discovered and re-discovered shaping spaces in the image and likeness of the owners.
