PROJECT #11 is an interior renovation to a 4-bedroom apartment for its new home owners, a couple whom entertains frequently.

To make way for a larger space to entertain and lounge around, 4 former bedrooms were reduced to 2 through the demolition of internal walls. This demolition lead to the discovery of the inherent structure of the apartment; It being supported by structural shear walls.

This discovery lead to the concept of Walls as Spatial Organizers and Dividers in this open-plan apartment.

Leaving behind the Lounge, one re-enters the Living lined with white walls. Beyond the Black Wall is the Dining, Image Courtesy © Studio Wills + Architects
