“Front and back” Apartment
Paris, France
Project Featured on Apr 15, 2014
It was a singular brief from a young Parisian advertising executive
also avid collector of comic strips. He wished to live in a fresh
environment, both serene and sparkling despite the fact that his
existing space was dilapidated, its geometry confusing,
compartmentalized and contorted.
The original apartment consisted of 6 rooms squeezed into 60 sq.
meters, the entry space alone was 5 sq. meters and had 7 different
doors!
The new design offers a continuous wide open space which expands,
becomes more complex or dense depending on orientations and uses. These
variances are defined by the variable geometries and the usable
thickness of the casework and walls. A study on sculpting these depths
allowed to create a variety of cavities, niches and alcoves. The
sculpted shapes vary in size and colours to adapt to multiple functions
in different locations. They can harbour either the vast collection of
comic strips or a bar, a bathroom, a closet, and so on.
The front side of each shape always maintains its negative volume on
the back. Behind the scenes can unveiled new uses taking place like
cupboards, a desk, video, shelves, etc... In this manner, the apartment
is continuously renewed and cross-views can become
through-views.
