The last years have seen a dominant trend in new residential building releases in the city of Sao Paulo in which unit plan areas are gradually decreasing. Taking into account the conditions in major urban centers, this may not be taken as something necessarily negative. The rationalization of space use is every time more a solution in order for the occupation of the city to be focussed on the collective. This way, buildings with many living units are seen as having a positive impact.
The main issue in this case is with plan design, which is usually delivered by construction companies. Poorly planned and hastily designed, some plans may even depreciate the real estate.
This is the case with the original plans for this 45 sq. m. apartment. A kitchen entwined with a service area, which were barely connected to the minuscule living room and terrace, composed the typology. Following were two inadequately sized rooms.
Considering one sole individual would live in the apartment, we came to an instantaneous conclusion. The apartment should be undivided and connected.
The first decision was to unify two rooms into one. The only divisor between it and the living room is one floor to ceiling sliding door, which, when open completely, is hidden behind the closet, uniting bedroom and living room into one setting. The dividing furniture is crafted in wood, runs on casters and was designed specifically for the project. Given its mobility, it serves both the living room and bedroom when the sliding door is shut.
Aiming at extending the living room, the windowsill was removed and its original space was expanded and the balcony sealed with mobile glass panels. The wall between the kitchen and living room was removed increasing the kitchen to the extent possible – as far as the service area, ensuring an open space in the remainder of the apartment.
The choice for burnt cement monolithic floor reinforces the impression of fully integrated spaces in a single atmosphere and dialogues with the bare concrete beam. The decision for passing on a plaster ceiling was aimed at maximizing its height, creating this more ample and cosy atmospheres.
