Another brick in the wall

The plot isn't easy to be performed (6x30 m). The project is a double block of three stories and in the middle... a hole! The patio, with pool, is forced between 4 walls, hight and concrete walls, thus the convivial area is deep in the shadow and you spend your free time facing the wall.
Why? Especially when you have such a good ocean view in the front?

onebedroom

This is the movie week! This is the 3rd post where you need a vimeo player,  I know, but here there's the example of the invention of people who need to live in a onebedroom flat. I share 45 square meter in two, and I know what lack of space means.
The example in this video is for well off people: everything tailored to fit perfectly every single cm.
What I really appreciate is the guest room... a genius!



But not everybody has enough money to spend... so here we have another solution

something different

After tons of white&concrete suspended dramatic cuboids, here we are with grey&metal sinuous skins. Simplicity at its best.
