2023

| 39 sq.m.

The apartment is designed for two people as a unique space with an embedded bedroom – this method is unique and consists of forming a new text inside the phrase we are used to.

The bedroom plays the role of a parasite, while everything else inside the apartment is positioned in relation to the intruder. The tame pest, at the same time unclothed and surrounded, becomes an accomplice, changing its identity, but not its function. It plays with the structure inside which it is placed. It is emphasized, yet it does not stand out.

The game of contrast of expressions enriches the meaning of housing. It leads to a better understanding between the complexity of functions and users needs. Modeled after Japanese architecture, the functionality of every single square meter is provided for the user. Next to the huge storing space, the dominant living room hasn’t been lost.

The furniture that embraces the walls, the only real borders of the apartment, still leaves empty space. Everything has been optimized so the user can, smoothly, without making any compromises, fulfill all their needs by choosing various activities - for example recreational. From everyday stretching exercises to partner exercises, the big room gives enough width for these necessary movements.

The extendable dining table, placed inside the cabinet at the ledge of the living room, is mobile and able to host six people at dinner, while the modular sofa provides overnight accommodation for one person. There is a provocation at the expense of perception due to the width of the space and the various ways of staging the living room.
