7th Space is a renovation project for a private living space located on the 7th floor of an 8-story apartment building.

The original space was designed as a typical apartment and had been being used for a long time. When the family's lifestyle was changed, the space faced major challenges including being divided into multiple smaller units, discontinuous access sequences, and limitations
in natural light and ventilation.

The original space condition of the 7th floor consisted of four apartment units, with only two units connected by an internal door, and the other two units were accessed through a central corridor, resulting in different separated living spaces that should have been a single-family dwelling area and reduced its utilization on a daily life basis.

The design concept therefore started with a focus on solving utilization problems by consolidating all units into a single and continuous living space. Unnecessary interior walls were removed to reorganize the utilizations. The central area, including the living, dining, and kitchen areas, was arranged as an open-plan layout to reduce discomfort and create a flexible shared space.

Natural light and ventilation were modified through the design of a large and practical balcony, sacrificing some interior space to improve the quality of the environment. The balcony is positioned to recess into the building mass and connected directly to the central area, acting as a central space that helps bring light and ventilation into the interior.

The balcony is therefore not just an additional outdoor space, but acts as a buffer between the living area and the urban context. The balcony also reduces the impact of sunlight, gradually creates an area sequence from private to outdoor spaces, and connects the interior with the city while maintaining the privacy of the residence.

The interior height limitation resulting from the original building structure was altered by removing the original ceiling and exposing the concrete floor to reduce the feeling of confinement or discomfort. Ceiling panels were installed only where necessary to conceal the systems.

The sequence of accessing the space was adjusted to reduce the feeling of entering the apartment unit directly. The entrance area was designed as a transition from the central corridor to the interior living space, without using doors as an immediate dividing element, allowing for a gradual transition.

Materials and color tones were chosen to respond spatial utilization over decoration. The original granite flooring was preserved as part of the building's context, while new materials were chosen in light colors and natural materials to enhance a sense of airiness, calmness, and visual spaciousness.

The 7th Space is an example of a high-rise building residential renovation which started with questioning about spatial problems and satisfies needs through functional management, open spaces, and interior-exterior connectivity to create an environment that promotes quality of life and family well-being.
