Unfinished interior room under construction with a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, exposed brickwork around the doorway, and a terrazzo floor.

THE RESIDENCE IS ORGANIZED AROUND FIVE VERSATILE SPACES THAT CAN FUNCTION AS A LIVING ROOM, BEDROOM, DRESSING ROOM, LIBRARY, OR STUDY, DEPENDING ON THE CONFIGURATION REQUIRED AT EACH STAGE. THE CLIENTS THOUGHT A HOME THAT COULD ADAPT TO CHANGING NEEDS: A SPACIOUS SUITE, A BRIGHT LIBRARY, A COMFORTABLE DRESSING AREA, AND AN ACCESSIBLE, BARRIER-FREE CIRCULATION. THE PROPOSAL RESPONDS WITH A GENEROUS, CLEAR, AND ACCESSIBLE SPATIAL LAYOUT DESIGNED TO FACILITATE EVERYDAY LIVING.

IN ADDITION TO ADDRESSING THE CURRENT PROGRAM, THE RESIDENCE HAS BEEN CONCEIVED TO ALLOW FOR FUTURE RECONFIGURATIONS: FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF CREATING UP TO FOUR FULL BEDROOMS TO ESTABLISHING A LARGE STUDY OR OFFICE AREA COMBINED WITH PRIVATE SPACES. AN ARCHITECTURE PREPARED TO ACCOMPANY THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF ITS INHABITANTS.
A CONTINUOUS, VERY DARK WOODEN FLOOR RUNS THROUGHOUT THE RESIDENCE, PROVIDING UNITY, NEUTRALITY, AND SOBRIETY. DOOR OPENINGS, WIDENED TO ENSURE ACCESSIBILITY, ARE RESOLVED WITH TWO LEAVES TO MAINTAIN A MORE DOMESTIC AND BALANCED SCALE. AN INTERVENTION THAT SEEKS TO OFFER COMFORT, ADAPTABILITY, AND EASE OF USE, CREATING A HOME PREPARED FOR THE PASSING OF TIME.
