The idea for renovation came after Pear and Nont decided to start living as a couple. “Nont asked for permission from his family to renovate the house that belongs to them.” After they agreed, “Nont used his architectural skills to design the house that would fit the two of us,” recounted Pear.“
We were talking about everyday life, style, and concepts that we both like.” As soon as Pear and her boyfriend agreed on the vision, Nont started designing “this lovely and simple home.”
Pear said that “my boyfriend has designed every corner of this house” and she feels absolutely grateful for that. Today, the couple feels overwhelmed with the positive feedback and are “absolutely happy” with the result.
People were stunned by the day and night difference the makeover has made

“We just want to capture all these precious moments and share them with our child one day,” said Pear. She also added that since so many countries, people, and businesses have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, the couple tries to focus on what brings good memories and emotions.

Share on Facebooki have to admit that i liked exterior 'before' about 1000 times more, but inside of house is great after
Completely agree! Seems a shame to have lost some of those orginal features on the balcony for example. Overall a great improvement though.
Load More Replies...i am from Greece. A classic house (before 1940) is prohibited by law to rebuild it or a renovation of any kind not to lose the beauty of it.Externally.Iinternally do whatever you want
It's similar in Germany. Historical homes are not allowed to change in the exterior. You may renovate them, but they have to look the same afterwards.
Load More Replies...By the looks on the neigbours homes, seems to be a poor part of the city. In my country, it would be a 1614 sq ft sign for thieves.I would renovate the inside and leave the ouside untouched.
this looks like an ikea ad now and they destroyed the most beautiful architecture on the balcony. what a shame.
What a shame they ditched the lovely traditional wooden parquet flooring
It's not "traditional" it was a cheap reno from the '70s.
Load More Replies...It's made me sad to see those stunning, curved balconies be boxed in with such bland cladding - it's very smart, but it's very...dull. It's too clean and empty for me, and those balconies would have made the difference between simple with some stand out features to just...stark, which is what they've ended up with. But, it's not my house, and they look thrilled, and that's what matters
Contemporary but classic. I think the exterior is so fresh it may inspire more neighbors to update their homes. The interior is beautifully appointed with well made built-in pieces. All very well done!
I would like to see renovation like this in my city (Athens) oftenly why it's ugly in current state to see a city view where reminds me trash dump.
And you still live in an ugly, cheap neighborhood where no one will ever buy your now overpriced house.
I like it, but I'm not big on white walls and light colored wood. But they did good.
Yep this proves that if you have enough money you can polish any turd.
