Accommodation of 34 m2 and 4.5 m in height, divided by a load bearing wall in two rooms of similar size, located in El Born in Barcelona.
Given this separation, the housing project divides into two areas: The first consists of the kitchen and a mobile cabinet, which operates as a bar, kitchen side table and dining table. It is a social area linked to the driveway, which improves the electrical installation and makes television available to expand use of this area beyond the mere fact of cooking and eating. The second area, however, responds to needs of a greater degree of privacy. That is why the space is fragmented into different trays that house the program in height, providing a gradient of intimacy without losing the visual connection between them. Thus, the first tray, which occupies half the area of ??this room, is designed to be of dual-use – dressing room and study area. The second highest one-quarter of the plant surface, contains the space for a bed. For the resolution of this scheme in height, furniture is particularly important, adapting to different places, meeting the urgent need for storage, and the connection and relationship between levels. Neglecting current standards of habitability and construction, it gives each area the necessary scale for each item and use of the appropriate features. The spaces are formed depending on the size and privacy they require, and wealth is given by the relations generated between them. For this reason, rather than speaking of space “up” or “below”, you can talk of “spaces between” “spaces next to” or “spaces.” Share this:RelatedContact Architecture-G
