Around a stairwell placed in the middle of the building a highly partitioned apartment develops with a complex interior circulation zone.

The revitalization of the circulation area should be stressed with the creation of a big cabinet in the entrance hall followed by a backlit wine cellar, on the way through to the kitchen. The wine cellar has special empowerment since it is like a rack that underlays the entire wall of the corridor, transforming in an unexpected way a secondary area of the apartment.

Two parallel countertops were designed coated in Estremoz white marble, with the upper and lower cabinets all aligned. The laundry area was placed next to the window.

The introduction of new cabinets has a special role in the partitioning and creation of new areas as described before. The design of light boxes in the ceilings with different shapes was exploited in order to diversify the lighting of the innermost spaces such as circulation and bathrooms. In the guest toilet and suite bathroom the white color and marble stone gain prominence. As for the children’s bathroom cement was used in a more informal way, thus creating a differentiation of users. In the walking closet the entrance door to the bathroom is dissimulated in one of the doors of the closet.
