The 70’s flat layout was too much out of date for ownwer’s needs so she call us to design a new space where all the circulation movements are concentrated in the central room. No corridor or minimal functional division: the space has to be seen at first sight. We were asked to realize not an open space and none openable partitions but a plan with night and day function clearly distinguishes where sleeping room and performing specialized function room had to be more independent.
The plan design out a central hall links all the access relations from the middle of the flats. A room that accounts for more than half of the flat’s area. It is shaped in smaller intersecting rectangular areas to allow simultaneously different function use without closing the room global vision. We work on wall texture (modern geometry recalling classic patterns) and finishing (as giclee printed mural) to merge client’s eclectic style pieces of forniture.
