Turnkey renovation of a three-room apartment in the «French Quarter»

Every family deserves a home that works for their comfort every single day. When a family of four approached Halfee to transform a standard 110.57 m² apartment into a functional masterpiece of design, the team knew it was the perfect challenge to showcase their craftsmanship. Today, we share the detailed story of creating this masterpiece, where square meter by square meter, a harmony of space, style, and practicality was born.

Planning Approach: Making Every Meter Count

At Halfee, we always start with people, not floor plans. That is why the final solution impressed even the most experienced developers of the complex.

The interior designers engineered twelve functional zones, each addressing a specific comfort need:

  • A 3.62 m² entrance hall transformed into an elegant welcome area with hidden storage systems, featuring unique custom furniture crafted by our masters;
  • A 13.17 m² hallway that became more than just a transit zone, acting as a gallery with built-in wardrobes manufactured to the nearest millimeter;
  • A separate 3.82 m² laundry room—a solution proposed by planners to move domestic processes outside living areas, proving to be a real lifesaver for the homeowners;
  • A 15.00 m² kitchen designed as a space for evening conversations, with every centimeter optimized for cooking convenience;
  • A 4.73 m² bathroom featuring an innovative layout designed by engineers for maximum usability;
  • Two children’s walk-in closets (3.67 m² and 4.73 m²)—a solution for maintaining perfect order in the kids’ rooms;
  • A 2.65 m² pantry—a compact storage unit integrated by planners without losing any living space;
  • Two children’s rooms (16.12 m² and 16.63 m²) given a transformable layout with a long-term perspective;
  • An 18.82 m² master bedroom—a sanctuary of peace created according to the couple’s specific wishes;
  • A 7.61 m² balcony—added value that the architects successfully integrated into the overall concept.

The planners proved that even in a standard apartment, one can create a personalized space where every family member has their own zone of comfort.

Remodeling Mastery: Builders Creating Space from Scratch

When it comes to radical changes, “turnkey” renovation specialists demonstrate true mastery. For this project, the team developed detailed documentation that served as a roadmap to the perfect result.

The scope of work performed is impressive:

  1. Demolition of outdated structures made of 120 mm solid brick and 80 mm aerated concrete—builders worked with surgical precision, preserving load-bearing elements;
  2. Construction of new partitions using modern materials, where workers applied innovative solutions with drywall and profile systems;
  3. Creation of architectural niches for hidden lighting—a designer’s signature touch that adds a premium feel to the interior;
  4. Unification of all doorways to 2100 mm—a Halfee quality standard ensuring visual integrity;
  5. Installation of special profile systems for flexible electrical placement—a solution developed by engineers for maximum operational convenience.

Special attention was paid to soundproofing and thermal engineering. The use of ceramic blocks and reinforced concrete structures ensures the solutions will last for decades. Every dimension was verified by craftsmen directly on-site—the company does not tolerate inaccuracies.

Engineering Excellence by a Professional Team

Modern comfort begins with properly designed engineering networks. Engineers created a system that functions as a single organism, ensuring the flawless operation of every area in the apartment.

Plumbers implemented concealed installations that turned the bathrooms into models of minimalism. Wall-mounted fixtures with soft-close systems, thermostatic shower sets, individually designed sinks, and stylish electric towel rails—all are the result of the expert team’s work.

Kitchen equipment includes premium built-in appliances, stainless steel sinks, and functional faucets with precise adjustment—installers fitted everything with perfect adherence to technology.

Electricians built an infrastructure to satisfy the needs of even the most demanding modern family:

  • 48 220V power outlets for limitless appliance placement options;
  • 3 moisture-resistant points in high-humidity areas—a safety-first solution;
  • 7 USB ports for convenient gadget charging;
  • 3 telecommunication sockets for modern connectivity;
  • A full set of leads for intercom, Wi-Fi, and electrical panels.

Lighting technicians designed a multi-layered lighting system: pendant lights for general illumination, accent spotlights, and functional surface-mounted models—everything works in perfect harmony.

Climate solutions include an air conditioning system with optimal unit placement, forced bathroom ventilation as per the studio’s project, and electric floor heating with thermostats at a convenient height. Electricians placed the panel in the most accessible spot in the hallway, and all switches were standardized for intuitive use.

Materials and Technologies: The Halfee Philosophy of Quality

Designers meticulously selected finishes that impress with their aesthetics and are built to last. The company cooperates only with trusted suppliers, and the craftsmen possess installation techniques that guarantee an ideal result.

Flooring is differentiated by zone:

  1. In wet areas, tilers laid 600×600 mm porcelain stoneware with anti-slip protection across 3.8 m²;
  2. On the balcony, specialists installed 193×1200×12 mm porcelain tiles across 12.6 m², resistant to all weather conditions;
  3. In living rooms, floorers laid 570×95×10.5 mm natural oak boards with a matte lacquer in an English Herringbone pattern over 97 m²;
  4. 60 mm concealed aluminum baseboards from our partners spanning 70 linear meters create a “floating” floor effect.

Waterproofing experts created multi-layered protection in wet zones, extending 150 mm up the walls with full coverage in the bathtub area—clients can rest assured of its reliability.

Wall finishes demonstrate a variety of techniques:

  • In sanitary zones, tilers created a composition of porcelain stoneware (18 m²) and large-format 59.6×150 cm tiles (27 m²);
  • The kitchen backsplash combines 60×120 cm tiles and 16 m² of 3D gypsum panels—a trendy solution perfectly executed;
  • Living rooms were decorated with natural oak veneer (154 m²), high-quality wallpaper (2.2 m²), professional painting (38 m²), and 35×40 mm wooden slats (6.5 m²).

Drywall installers completed 100 mm thick ceilings with perfect plasterwork. A white shadow gap profile—a Halfee signature—was used for a “floating” ceiling effect. Functional niches of 60 mm and 200 mm hide lighting and curtains, with a total LED profile length of 43 linear meters.

Furniture by Halfee: Manufacturing as Art

In-house furniture production is the pride of the company. For this project, craftsmen created unique pieces that fit perfectly into the room’s architecture.

In the hallway, carpenters made open hangers on decorative panels, a console shelf with a mirror, a handmade pouf, a specialized shoe-washing station, and metal shelves—all in a unified style.

The kitchen set from our cabinet makers integrated premium built-in appliances: refrigerator, oven, microwave, induction hob, dishwasher, stainless steel sink, and hood. Installers integrated everything perfectly into the facades.

The laundry room received a custom storage system for the washer and dryer, a 100-liter boiler, and a towel warmer—compact and functional.

For the bedroom, we manufactured a 2000×1800 mm bed with integrated drawers, a media zone dresser, a vanity table, console nightstands, and an upholstered armchair—all within a single concept using natural materials.

Children’s rooms are equipped with Halfee furniture:

  • Beds with orthopedic bases, selected individually by specialists;
  • Work desks and ergonomic chairs from the manufacturer;
  • Wardrobes and shelving units with pull-out drawers—a solution for order;
  • Walk-in closet systems with open and closed storage.

Wardrobe systems with full-length mirrors and console units transformed technical spaces into zones of aesthetic harmony.

The kitchen-living area received a two-section modular sofa, an 900×1800 mm folding dining table, and a 600 mm diameter coffee table—all manufactured in-house from premium materials. Vertical radiators, integrated into the interior by designers, became another stylish element.

Professional Door and Window Solutions

Installation specialists fitted nine aluminum interior doors with perfect 2100 mm opening adherence. Magnetic stoppers on all leaves ensure smooth and silent closing.

The aluminum structures offered by the company are characterized by lightness, durability, and customization potential. Hardware and locking mechanisms guarantee security for years.

Window systems from partners with panoramic glazing ensure maximum light and energy efficiency—providing clients with comfort and savings.
