Other Projects by P9 Arch Studio
BOX AND ISLANDS
Greece
The space studied by P9 Arch Studio is located in a central modernist office building with an interesting façade and large openings. The former narrow-fronted 29.00 sq.m. office space is transformed through design into a flexible residential apartment. Through key design intentions and materiality, clear references to Japanese architecture are made.
The central idea originated from the need to clearly separate functions within the residence in a limited square footage while simultaneously creating a sense of an open-plan layout. The architectural study sought to incorporate smart custom-built solutions that ensure all the living qualities of a larger home.
Regarding the main elements of materiality, references were sought in aspects of memory, habitation, and the building’s function. Materials such as colored, matte formica were incorporated, used on the floors of the custom-built structures and on the work surfaces due to its durability. The formica also relates to the furniture found in the space and evokes the era in which the building was constructed.
At the same time, marine plywood was utilized as a "warm," yet durable material that adapts to various conditions and meets different needs. It was used here as part of the flooring, in the kitchen composition, on shelves, and in the headboard of the bedroom. The synthetic gestures created a "box in a box" within the available space, resulting in an independent sleeping area where privacy is ensured and the key functions of a individual bedroom are maintained.
The wooden structure that houses the sleeping area features sliding storage spaces (drawers) at its base, complemented by an open-style wardrobe within the bedroom. At the same time, it ensures natural light and ventilation thanks to the translucent sliding and fixed surfaces.
Leading off from the sleeping area, a flexible and functional kitchen is creatively developed, featuring an island with a cooktop and a dining counter. The kitchen composition incorporates the same materials used in the other custom-built elements.
The vocabulary and materials are repeated and synthesized with a wooden island serving as a seating zone, where a multifunctional sofa is created. The space is structured into two raised levels and can be equally used as a relaxation, communication, or work area, as well as a storage space, with drawers functioning as storage units beneath. The entire façade of the apartment is illuminated by a large external opening, leading to a terrace that serves as the extension of the residence to the main pedestrian street.
Finally, in the bathroom, square dimensioned light-colored tiles with nostalgic tones chosen, along with built-in thermostatic mixers, offering clear references to the design of urban buildings from the second half of the 20th century.
