Within
a small and inadequate 65m2 flat, near the beach, in Carcavelos , the primary
objective was the creation of a strategy that highlighted the division
between spaces and added to the walls more than streaming elements. A
single guiding line that solves in a single stroke the program as well as
the constraints inherited by the building system - the interior structural
vestment in concrete could not be demolished within the available budget.
The project was to organize a single residential home - living room, bedroom,
dining room, kitchen and bathroom, without preconceived functional
concepts. These are autonomous areas, where only the bathroom and bedroom
have doors. The transition between spaces reveal some elements of
surprise, and creates intentional interrelations. We can claim that these
are gateways where the feeling of the whole is never lost.
The strategy was driven with the use of carpentry as the foundation of the
intervention. The same material for the same function, to overcome the
basic need - storage. The creation of two front-to-front cabinet units
define and frame the living space. While one (white, closed and full
height) define the entrance of the bedroom, the other (black, open and
2,10m tall) defines the passage into the dining area and breaks through to
the kitchen, adding an ancillary module to it. The worktops and the
kitchen units follow the same language - clean, straight and functional.
The flooring is neutral, light grey, reflecting the sunlight that enters through
the windows.
In the hallway, the mirror panel (fixed and pivoting) hides the 
bathroom and reveals to those entering or leaving their reflected 
image that welcomes or says goodbye.
