In addition, by reconfiguring the partition walls, a fluid circulation was created, which allowed to define clearly the bedrooms volume, the kitchen box and the social area open space.

The bedrooms configure a nucleus, finished with colorful lacquer panels, granting luminosity and color to the whole ambient.  Image Courtesy © Raul Fonseca A monolithic floor finishing was adopted in order to amplify the sensation of a continuous space, the limits of which were defined by using sliding doors that can be transparent or shaded depending on the function of each area.
