The apartment in question is located in Castanheira do Ribatejo, municipality of Vila Franca de Xira, more precisely at Rua da Barroquinha No. 10. It corresponds to a unit located on the ground floor of a three-story residential building, consisting of six independent units.
The building is part of a group of three buildings constructed in the 1960s, presenting very similar constructive and architectural characteristics.
The unit consists of two rooms facing Rua da Barroquinha. At the rear of the apartment, with direct access to a private patio, are the living room and kitchen. All these rooms are connected by a large distribution hall.
The proposal presented stems from the need to adapt and functionally reorganize the apartment, enhancing the distribution hall as a central element of the living space. All rooms have a direct connection to this space.
The connection to the social area is made through a large sliding panel that, when open, is fully integrated into the kitchen wall, allowing for a wider spatial reading and more fluid circulation. Access to the bathroom is now made directly to the hall through a sliding door.
In order to reinforce a continuous spatial flow, we also proposed the partial demolition of the wall separating the living room from the kitchen, creating a passageway 1.20 m wide. This solution allows for a greater visual and functional relationship between the social areas, without completely eliminating the separation between the different living spaces.
In order to optimize the use of the hall area, a continuous storage cabinet was designed. This entire space is covered with lacquered MDF panels, using different colors as a spatial characterization element: blue in the hall area and yellow in the social area of the kitchen and living room.
In the living room, we changed the exterior balcony opening into a passageway, enhancing the direct passage between the living room and the patio.
The kitchen has an "L"-shaped countertop area with upper cabinets. On the wall bordering the living room, we have tall cabinets where the pantry is located.
All exterior openings will be replaced with casement windows, in white lacquered aluminum, with thermal break and double glazing with an air gap. Regarding the shading system, the existing solution of blinds will be maintained.
As for the finishes, we prioritized materials with high resistance and durability, associated with reduced maintenance needs. In the sanitary installation, the wall covering is in 10x10 cm white ceramic tile. On the floor, we applied white concrete slabs with colored aggregates, measuring 40x40 cm. This flooring is also used in the kitchen and patio, and in the outdoor space, the concrete becomes black.
The flooring in the remaining areas is made of oak-type wood, finished with a high-resistance satin varnish.
