The Purple Apartment is a renovation project. The building’s original state, known as “neo-classical” architecture, was a combination of eclectic styles with stuccoes and useless bulky elements. By trimming techniques of reducing the volume and mass of internal elements, we transformed it into a modern, minimalhouse. The main design idea, which was conceived with regard to the building’s architectural circumstances on the one hand and the client’s needs on the other, was to highlight the building’s existing strengths and to deemphasize its weaknesses through the reconstruction of ceilings and walls, creating hollowed elements in massive volumes and adding subsurface lightings. The ceiling, chimney and a number of walls were demolished to be replaced by light, transparent elements. By providing wooden columns between thedoorway and the entrance to the dining space we obtained a transparent space with qualities desired by the client. We took advantage of the deficiently-installed kitchen facilities to separate these two spaces and made the kitchen appear suspended by means of thehidden lights below its floor.
