‘With regard to the ideal appearance of the home, we all have imagined countless fantasies, plenty of sunshine and space, a bed and bathtub that can stretch and even a switch and door handle with good touch.’ The concern for family is carrying the weight of our emotions and the warmth in our heart, would be the starting point for restarting every day after tired work.
In the exclusive whereabouts of Nalón river mouth, the flat’s location was back-in-the-times house of marine village San Esteban de Pravia’s harbour workers, a well-known context within Asturias region. This beautiful spot was recently declared heritage site of historical and industrial interest.
We took up a quite partitioned 52m2 flat where rooms had significantly small spaces and rather ramdom layout. The lack of functional criteria was obvious.
Originally 2-bedroom apartment was converted into a single bedroom flat. The extra space was given to the living room. A complex geometry of living room was simplified by introducing a diagonal wall. This diagonal direction became the main feature of the living room. Floor direction, furniture and lighting are all aligned to the given diagonal angle. The diagonal wall also allowed the wardrobe layout in the bedroom to be more functional – more depth was given to the walk-in wardrobe and less depth was used for a regular wardrobe.
Student Accommodation Science City ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Three building volumes smoothly interlock. They create a succession of diverse spatial sequences and form a rhythmic open space that is rich in variety and offers a high-quality place to spend time. The route layout becomes a key element and generates a interesting dynamism. On the ground floor, there are common rooms, a classroom for the ETH, a nursery school and supplementary rooms that facilitate the student accommodation. The standard floors are exclusively reserved for student living and conceived for shared flats. Each shared flat accommodates 6 to 10 people. In total, 63 flats with 485 rooms and 12 studios are provided.
This one-room flat is located in one of the oldest part of Paris, in a mid-seventeenth century mansion townhouse. Connected to the groundfloor of the yard, what were the former stables became the kitchen of the master flat above. Then, it of was abandoned during 70 years, until 2013, when detached and sold apart. Anne Rolland’s Studio undertook in 2015 to refurbish it as a cosy one room flat.

A Czech online platform for interior design called insidecor has introduced a unique project in Prague. The company invited five different ateliers and designers to design five different spaces in a historical building. SQUAT iD23 is situated on the capital’s most luxurious street, Pařížská.
Visitors can occupy the spaces for a while, and that is also the reason why insidecor chose the name “SQUAT”. The flats were designed by well-known Czech architects as well as upcoming young talents. The ateliers cooperated with both high-quality Czech and foreign furniture and accessories suppliers, who are all partners of insidecor.
Original condition before reconstruction – the original condition of the flat was a little confusing and at first did not look like it needed major reconstruction, only minor modifications. After the original owner moved out, the shortcomings of the original reconstruction work only done “to the eye”, became visible. Different types of flooring materials painted a single color (even over the tiles in the bathroom). The crookedness of floors, leaking windows etc. The standard of the original reconstruction was set very low from today’s point of view.
Whitewashing, Enjalbegar in spanish, many languages have verbs that describe the action of lime painting the architectures to clean and embellish them.
In this case it is about updating an apartment with a characteristic distribution of the Valencian expansion district. This type of buildings with a high depth of block and a small central courtyard determines the possible distributions. We approach this work in a systematic way, but here the action of whitewashing goes beyond the treatment of surfaces.
