Some spaces tell stories from the pastothers must have them coaxed gently back to life. AR09, a project by Kodd Bureau, is one such revival. This project, a three-bedroom apartment, is tucked inside a century-old building. It had been stripped of its soul by time and transformation. What remained was a structure begging for meaningone that could honor its history without being bound by it.Rather than replicate the past, AR09 reimagines it. The apartment now lives in quiet dialogue with its origins. The result is a space where legacy meets modern life and where stillness coexists with strength.In AR09, the living room, dining area, and kitchen arent segregated using walls. Instead, textures and tonal transitions do the job.The living area is softly sculptural. A pair of gray tufted sofas curve gently around a low table. The muted palette allows the tactile richness of the textiles to shine, while the rounded shapes bring a sense of movement to an otherwise linear space. The oak-clad walls that envelop the room feel less like panels and more like architecture in conversation with history.Flowing effortlessly into the dining space, a minimalist oak table anchors the room with its quiet confidence. Surrounding it, mid-century inspired gray chairs add elegance. Above, a trio of smoky glass pendant lights adds depth.Tucked just beyond is the kitchen, where we again see wooden tones. Here, minimalist cabinetry conceals function behind flat oak fronts. A gray stone countertop adds weight and texture. There are no unnecessary flourishesjust honest materials doing what they do best. Even the fixtures, like the muted brass tap, are understated.The staircase in this apartment is wooden and sleek. On the bottom floor, the vacant space next to the staircase is used for a workstation. On the upper floor, we see a barrel vault ceiling perfectly tying the space to its history.The main bedroom uses a wooden headboard, which also doubles as a partition for the dressing area. Within the sleek cabinetry is a television, paired with comfy seats, creating a gaming zone. Theres also a wooden wall-mounted desk for working the day away.In another bedroom, we see a single bed paired with a terrazzo nightstand. Perfect for a little ones use.Finally, a special mention for the sleek gray bathroom. There are no tiles, no ornate finishesjust surfaces that flow uninterrupted, creating a meditative, almost sculptural feel.
