The apartment in its original state presented a
complicated distribution of fragmented spaces lacking natural light and
ventilation; despite its generous dimensions it appeared small and dark. The objective of the project was to clean the
space to achieve an open configuration of flexible areas that would break the
existing static arrangement and promote interconnectedness between individual
spaces yet still provide the possibility of privacy.
The first of two principal elements is a series
of mobile panels that pivot around their own axes and slide along rails. Through different positions, and artwork
placed on the panels, the system generates a diverse arrangement of interior
facades and when closed converts into a single length of wall that isolates the
desired space. In this way the master
bedroom emphasizes its relationship with the urban context by introducing the
greenery of the tree canopies and, if desired, the public interior of the
dining room. The same event occurs with
the living room; it can be a separate, private space or incorporated into the
dining room.
The entrance wall also participates in the
movement and allows the kitchen to be excluded from the rest of the public
zone. In this manner it is possible to
convert the master bedroom, the living room, dining room, and kitchen into a
single space, isolate any number them, or simply give them a view into the
adjacent space by partially opening the panels.
The second element of the intervention was to
concentrate the bathrooms and dressing rooms into a single element with
multiple functions. This wooden volume
is sufficiently narrow in width to save space but long enough to physically
connect to both bedrooms and simultaneously create visual connections to the exterior,
and in this way introduces the vegetation of the exterior into all interior
spaces of the apartment.
The panels and the service volume are made from
the same wood and represent the same conceptual element fractured into two
distinct forms.
The fundamental goal was to design an apartment
that transforms itself continually, that opens or closes, or that integrates or
separates itself according to changing needs and emotional states, or in other
words a vibrant space that empathizes with its inhabitants.
