A layout conversion in the form of reshuffling the restroom at the expense of a closet (justified by a motivation of buying less) unified the sanitary box and illuminated the entrance, deepest parts of the corner apartment.
The inflated kitchen volume masks the core plumbing and columns of the external wall and extends the worktop in depth.
Together with the island, around which the majority of the daily and evening rituals revolve (and chase), substitutes the trimmed living room surface.
The central concrete load bearing element stayed rugged, unplastered (because it is cheaper than marble cladding) with an inserted contrasting wooden unit in which, due to a lengthy waiting period and increasing number of household members, remains an alteration of function. Unified hygiene box, as a separate inserted piece, is detached by another material.
Timber framed transoms communicate the entire living space volume and illuminate the bathroom with the restroom lacking a natural light source.
Rooms are furnished with modular flexible furniture without any inserted, permanent solutions and leave the design process open, reacting to current needs of the young family.
