The owners of this house were not identified with the layout of their old apartment. Small consecutive spaces, arranged longitudinally along a corridor that provided access to multiple rooms and uses. A simple  and inefficient distribution for a contemporary dwelling.

From the architect. The owners of this house were not identified with the layout of their old apartment. Small consecutive spaces, arranged longitudinally along a corridor that provided access to multiple rooms and uses. A simple  and inefficient distribution for a contemporary dwelling.

From the beginning, multifunctional spaces were created allowing future possibilities. It was necessary to move away from the restrictive layout that was preventing new habits, hobbies, activities or new ways of thinking.

Existing Plan

Proposed Plan

Kitchen, dining room, living room or work area were connected in a open plan layout keeping this uses away from the most private areas of the house.
