The brief
Too many halls and hallways
The flat, in a mid-1960s building with a reinforced concrete column-and-slab structure, still had its original irregular layout, with several entrance halls and hallways with unusual access.
Following the logic of everyday use and the goals of the client, a company, we proposed reorganising the spaces without moving the main rooms.
Project data
The living area
A living room that leads everywhere
The kitchen stays put and opens onto the living-dining room.
The kitchen and the living-dining room keep their positions, but the barriers between them are removed to create a single space. This space also leads to both bedrooms and the bathroom, so the corridors disappear.
Bedrooms and bathroom
Two double bedrooms and a bigger bathroom
Two small bedrooms are joined.
Two small bedrooms are joined into a new double; the other, also a double, stays as it was. By absorbing the old bedroom hallway, the bathroom is now considerably larger. All finishes and services are renewed.
Drawings
The new plan
Location and section.
The new plan removes entrance halls and hallways and concentrates circulation in the living-dining room.
