The Residence
Project details
The Residence marks a new era for Rinova Studio, this is the scale and depth the studio has been moving toward — interiors that are timeless, tactile, and deeply personal, grounded in heritage yet responsive to modern life.
Interiors today are no longer purely functional or decorative; they are extensions of identity, lifestyle, and personality. The Residence embodies this shift — a home where curated, meaningful pieces take precedence over trends, and every element is chosen to shape how we live, interact, and experience the space.
After over a decade of living between England, Paris, and the Netherlands, Darya wanted to create a home that carried all those layers — British crafted detailing, French timeless elegance, Dutch minimalist warmth. The Residence became that space. It’s a project about belonging, about European heritage that is not something to imitate, but to inhabit — a way of seeing, feeling, and crafting spaces that evolve with time.
In this project, each room tells a story of materials, craft, and memories. Above the dining table hangs a two-metre artwork commissioned by a British artist, surrounded by Scandinavian and Dutch furniture and lighting. Classic oak floors, Italian tiles, neutral textiles—including 4-meter-high linen curtains in the kitchen—and natural stones create a timeless, layered atmosphere that invites touch. The original fireplace remains a centerpiece in the living room, preserved through the full-scale renovation. Dutch handcrafted bespoke furniture draws the eye with understated details, while vintage pieces, art, and lighting sourced from Paris, southern France, the Netherlands, and Belgium complement the beauty of imperfection. Every corner balances functionality, texture, and storytelling, creating a home that feels layered, personal, and lived-in.
“This project represents the way forward for Rinova Studio,” says Darya. “After years of gathering experiences across different cities and countries, I want to create spaces that feel both rooted and alive — where European heritage isn’t nostalgia, but a living narrative that continues through how we inhabit our homes.”
