This studiò project was designed to create a comfortable and convenient location where the owner can dwell either temporarily (during his permanence at the European Court) or for a long-time without having the impression of being in a hotel room. The new layout creates a whole room divided into integrated functional areas. The enlarged bathroom becomes a taking care area and can be separated or related to the studiò space by sliding elements; toilet is French style. The kitchen is customized to be retractable. To maximize the space, walls become storage units. To enhance the volume, hues are clear and neutral and come from grey tones; the use of natural and tactile materials ensures a warm and personal space. The decorative elements are inspired by the owner’s hobby.
