The apartments had been divided into smaller units and renovated in stages, until there were barely any traces left of the original charm. When CJ Studio joined the project together with the developer, the goal was clear: to restore the building\u2019s soul while adapting it to modern needs.

They describe their driving force like this:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are inspired by everything in our surroundings \u2013 from the city and nature to fashion and other colleagues in the industry, both past and present. We love our work, and we find it incredibly rewarding to work closely with our clients, helping them interpret and realize their visions and dreams, and exceed their expectations. We are driven by passion, relationships, and love for our profession.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For CJ Studio, successful projects are about more than aesthetics \u2013 they are about creating environments where people truly thrive. It could be an office that feels almost as cozy as one\u2019s own home, a wine bar with an atmosphere that evokes a lively Barcelona even though it\u2019s tucked away on a backstreet in Stockholm, or a summer house in the archipelago where you find the perfect sheltered spot with sun from breakfast to dinner \u2013 a place you never want to leave<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-50 col-100-sm sticky\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-70\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chevronparquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BRAHEGATAN-5_1507.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"image-text\">Chevron 200 x 1000 mm, 104 Smygehuk<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-30\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chevronparquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Brahegatan_5_1548.jpg\"><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"spacing-block_686d4cb9f9819\" class=\"block spacing bg-color none block_686d4cb9f9819\">\n    <style>\n        .spacing.block_686d4cb9f9819 {\n            height: 30px;\n        }\n        @media (min-width: 768px) {\n            .spacing.block_686d4cb9f9819 {\n                height: 200px;\n            }\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"block_68b81400b9bbe\" class=\"tpl90s block story-text\">\n\t<div class=\"row margin center\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-50 col-100-sm\">\n\t\t\t<p>Tell us more about the project and the material choices you faced \u2013<\/p>\n<p>The idea was to highlight the unique roof shape, the dizzying ceiling height, and the large rooms with a warm material palette that also includes contrasts.
