From the architect: “For this apartment, we created a square core with a bathroom and two storage areas in the middle. This volume is covered in a perforated, corrugated metal sheet. The perforated sheet allows us to see through the skin to some extent .
“Around this turquoise “heart”, the space for domestic activities is completely free and flexible. Most of the public spaces of the house are located to the south and have an exterior view through a large window that provides plenty of light and air. This area can be extended to a second space which can be opened and closed through a large sliding wooden door. The northern part of the apartment is more comfortable and quiet, with more clearly programmed rooms. And the house has varying degrees of privacy There is one condition: they all face the inside of the metal.
“Inside the industrial structure is a hidden gem filled with small rectangular tiles in the same color as the outer skin. Through the perforated door you can see the bathtub. This game of transparency and privacy subverts the classic concept of the bathroom by changing it Programmatic concepts in an Agile.
“In short, renovation is an exercise in materials, textures and flexible spaces, which seeks to rethink ways of living in the contemporary city and generate a new domesticity.”
