A
former Lisbon dock's warehouse is to be converted in several lofts. The
apartments will have different and personalized characteristics . Interior
partitions in exposed concrete will separate the diverse units..
In
this loft a series of elements are added to the relatively neutral existing
shell, punctuating and ordering space: A stair / bookcase, a fireplace and a
wood coated central volume, which contains all services, facilities and several
retractable elements, enabling to control the degree of partitioning of space,
depending on the needs at each moment. Circulation takes place all the way
around the said central volume.
Large,
west oriented spans, fill with light the double height lounge. A few skylights
above the main staircase and the work area on the mezzanine, surgically
increase the brightness of the interior, helping to order space.
