Built in the 1950s as a post-war infill block, this once vacant top floor flat in the Maltese city of Cospicua is now home to architect Lucia Calleja. Original character and features, such as coloured cement tiles, tall windows, and stone walls, provided the perfect foundation for a sensitive, light-touch renovation. By widening doorways and removing unnecessary partitions, Calleja transformed dark, narrow rooms into a one continuous open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. A bespoke oak-fronted kitchen extends towards newly lowered windowsills, with views of the historic streets below. Built-in storage, a compact breakfast bar, and reclaimed mid-century pieces bring warmth and practicality without overwhelming the space. A concealed oak-veneered door hides the bathroom and overhead storage, while a small balcony, reinstated with its original railing, provides the perfect spot for morning coffee overlooking the harbour.
