Complete renovation of a high-end apartment in Blonay

With ESSENZA, FABINHA SA presents the complete renovation of an apartment located in Blonay, on the Vaud Riviera. This project combines the refurbishment of interior surfaces, the modernization of ceilings, the installation of grey marble-effect porcelain stoneware tiles, and the transformation of the bathroom spaces. A project where the choice of materials, brightness, and precision of finishes contribute to a new interior harmony.

Rethinking an apartment around light and materials

The renovation of an apartment does not solely rely on the replacement of equipment or coverings. It also consists of rethinking the balance of volumes, the perception of surfaces, and the way materials complement natural light.

For ESSENZA, our approach consisted of modernizing the spaces with a sober and contemporary aesthetic, while seeking coherence between the different elements of the interior design.

Light surfaces, mineral textures, and new bathroom fixtures compose a harmonious whole, designed to offer a pleasant, elegant, and timeless living environment.

A complete refurbishment of the wall finishes

The transformation of the apartment began with extensive work on the wall surfaces.

The old wall finishes were completely redone to achieve more homogeneous surfaces adapted to the new finishes. This preparation work plays an essential role in the overall perception of the spaces, particularly when prioritizing clean lines and bright tones.

The quality of a wall covering depends as much on its finish as on the preparation of the substrate. For ESSENZA, this step constituted an important foundation of the renovation, allowing the walls to regain a neat and contemporary appearance.

Water-repellent paint for neat and protected surfaces

To complete the refurbishment of the walls, a professional water-repellent paint was applied to the surfaces concerned.

This type of finish is designed to limit the penetration of water into the coating, depending on the characteristics of the product used. It provides additional protection to the surfaces while allowing a sober and homogeneous aesthetic to be maintained.

The choice of this finish is part of a desire to combine visual quality and the adaptation of materials to the conditions of use of the spaces.

Paneled ceilings revisited in a white finish

The ceilings also underwent a transformation, with the existing panels being repainted.

The choice of a white finish allows the characteristic texture and rhythm of the paneling to be preserved while giving it a more contemporary expression.

This intervention helps to enhance the brightness of the rooms and visually lighten the volumes, without requiring the systematic replacement of existing materials.

The contrast between the white ceilings and the new flooring contributes to the aesthetic balance of the entire apartment.

Grey marble-effect porcelain stoneware tiles

The new flooring constitutes one of the major elements of the ESSENZA renovation.

Throughout the apartment, the choice fell on grey marble-effect porcelain stoneware tiles, combining the aesthetics of natural stone with the practicality of a ceramic covering.

The grey shades and delicate veining bring an elegant mineral dimension, while the continuity of the covering contributes to visually unifying the different rooms.

This choice allows for the creation of a contemporary and timeless base, adapted to an interior where materials and finishes occupy a central place.

Visual continuity that enhances the volumes

The use of the same tile in the different spaces allows for the creation of an architectural thread throughout the apartment.

Rather than multiplying materials and breaks in tones, the project favors a fluid reading of the surfaces, giving full place to the volumes and natural light.

The combination of grey marble-effect porcelain stoneware, renovated walls, and white ceilings composes a sober, balanced, and resolutely contemporary atmosphere.

A completely renovated and enlarged bathroom

The bathroom underwent a major transformation, with a complete renovation accompanied by an enlargement of the space.

This new configuration allowed for rethinking the organization of the room and improving circulation around the different bathroom fixtures.

The goal was to create a more comfortable space, where contemporary fittings naturally integrate into the available volumes.

The work carried out illustrates the importance of a global approach to bathroom renovation, combining layout changes with the choices of coverings and finishes.

Warm beige tones for the bathroom

While the living spaces favor the minerality of grey marble, the bathroom adopts a softer and warmer palette.

The choice of beige tiles brings a soothing and refined atmosphere, while maintaining an aesthetic coherence with the rest of the apartment.

These natural shades complement the new bathroom fixtures and contribute to creating a pleasant space to use on a daily basis.

The balance between materials, colors, and proportions allows this enlarged bathroom to have a contemporary identity, without compromising its warm character.

A completely modernized WC

The WC also underwent a complete renovation in order to integrate into the new aesthetic of the apartment.

The old fittings gave way to contemporary bathroom installations, selected with a logic of functionality and coherence with the rest of the project.

Particular attention was paid to the finishes and the integration of the equipment, in order to obtain a space that is neat down to the last detail.

A complete renovation, from preparation to finishes

The particularity of ESSENZA lies in the coherence of the different interventions carried out within the apartment.

Refurbishment of wall finishes, application of paints, restoration of ceilings, installation of marble-effect tiles, enlargement of the bathroom, and modernization of the WC: each step contributed to the overall transformation of the interior.

For FABINHA SA, this type of project illustrates the importance of coordinating technical work and aesthetic choices, in order to obtain a harmonious result adapted to the particularities of the building.

ESSENZA: a new expression of elegance in Blonay

With ESSENZA, FABINHA SA reveals an apartment renovation where the simplicity of lines, mineral materials, and the quality of finishes compose a new interior identity.

The grey marble-effect tiles bring continuity to the spaces, the white ceilings enhance the brightness, while the enlarged bathroom and modernized bathroom installations contribute to daily comfort.

This project in Blonay reflects our approach to renovation: understanding the potential of a place, selecting suitable materials, and paying particular attention to every detail, from preparatory work to finishes.
