About the project
Renaissance is a boutique residential block consisting of 4 one bedroom flats, 4 two bedroom flats and 2 three bedroom flats. Inspired by the history of the area but with a modern note, the building consists of a raw podium made of arches that is presented as the base of the building.
The frame and the main body of the building are made of bare dark colour render material depicting the roots of a place, which will always exist no matter how much time passes.
Thin decorative elements consisting of arches and vertical columns embrace the building, regenerating the past which also act as a sun shading system and gives more privacy to the tenants from the surrounding buildings.
Surrounded by flowers and vegetation, the building aims to create a new way of living to the residents providing a distinctive experience. The boundary between interior-exterior blends smoothly as every apartment has wide openings facing the large verandas which include its own private garden zone.

Applicant and authors of the project
At Kailistudio, founded in 2019, we consider important that places should be created in such a way to connect with people. In different places people can have unique experiences by engaging their senses and maintaining them in their memories. In this respect, practice’s approach is to create places that can offer people something special, a combination of senses and strong emotions, all of which will remain in their memory.
