1970s apartment renovation in Taranto: where details make the difference

Between May and July 2026, Kino Workshop completed a 1970s apartment renovation in Taranto. The project proves a simple point: the quality of a design doesn’t depend on the scale of the site, but on the care behind it.

The apartment sits in a residential building from the 1970s. It had compartmentalised rooms, outdated systems and poor use of natural light. The project chose targeted interventions over a full demolition of the existing layout. This choice kept both time and costs under control, without giving up on the quality of the final result.

1970s apartment renovation in Taranto: the main interventions

The lighting design was one of the central areas of work. Kino Workshop fully renewed the lighting to enhance the apartment’s most interesting views and correct the shadowed areas of the original layout. A few targeted masonry works reshaped the relationship between some of the rooms and gave the spaces greater fluidity.

A few furniture pieces complete the project: the wardrobe, the shelving and the cabinet above it, which a carpentry workshop designed and built to measure. They respond precisely to the existing architectural constraints and work alongside the furnishings that complete the spaces.

This project in Taranto confirms a principle that has always guided Kino Workshop’s work: every commission deserves the same level of design care, regardless of its size. A 1970s apartment can come fully back to life when rethought with attention. It doesn’t need invasive works or a large budget.

Anyone considering a similar renovation will find a useful case here. A targeted intervention on lighting, masonry work and made-to-design furniture can deeply transform the living quality of an existing apartment. It restores function and value to spaces that would otherwise risk becoming obsolete.
