From the main entrance of the apartment until the terrace, this unique furniture element creates a visual relation between all the spaces it passes through.

While this wooden wall joins visually both spaces, it also creates new ones inside itself: storage, space for tv, studio desk, doors, etc.

Dining room, kitchen and living room get the same appearance through the wooden texture of the wall and micro-cement floor.

Behind this wooden wall, we find the private spaces: bathroom and bedroom.

Another use that you find inside this element is the kitchen. This space continues with same idea of perforating the wall for the different uses the house needs.

Behind the wooden wall, the private spaces.

Small oak wood featured elements complete the composition of the apartment.

The bathroom is located behind the kitchen. The door, at the same level as the rest of the wooden wall, rests invisible in the dinning room.

The project is the renovation of an old 80's apartment in Barcelona. The idea was born from the building rules that we had to follow. The dwelling was divided in two by a sctructural wall and only joined by a small door opening. On one hand we had an area facing a dark interior patio and on the other side the opposite, daylight from the Eixample's street.

In the interior patio we could find all the water and drain pipes, fact that made us place kitchen and bathroom close to it. On the other side we had the living room and the bedroom which were screaming for light and nice views, so we placed it on the exterior half.

Due to the imposibility to join both sides or make any bigger openning on the structural wall (neighbours weren't very happy about it), the idea was to visually join exterior and interior areas of the apartmanet. This was achieved by generating a common element: a big wooden wall that crosses all the spaces, making a visual connection reinforced by the continous microcement floor. This wooden wall also creates the private spaces such as bedroom and bathroom and generates utilities inside itself like kitchen, closets, desk, etc.
