Par-Delà Les Nuages: Redesigning an Apartment for Improved Functionality and Space
Project's Summary
Redesigning an Apartment: The Par-Delà Les Nuages Project by VOLTOLINI Architectures
VOLTOLINI Architectures has taken on the challenge of redesigning an apartment to improve its functionality, space, and light. In its current configuration, the apartment consists of several rooms alongside a corridor, with living areas situated on the yard side and other rooms without windows on the other side. To address these issues, the redesign plan focuses on expanding the kitchen towards the living room, maintaining three bedrooms, and reconsidering the question of storage spaces.
Expanding the Kitchen and Improving Conviviality: The Redesign Plan
One of the major objectives of the redesign plan is to improve conviviality and create more space and light in the apartment. To achieve this, the plan involves expanding the kitchen towards the living room while maintaining three bedrooms. The redesign also aims to reconsider the question of storage spaces and reduce the depth of the rooms to gain more light.
Redefining the Spatiality of the Entire Place: The Role of the Fourteen Meters Cabinet
One of the key features of the redesigned apartment is the fourteen meters cabinet including storage spaces, a bathroom, a separate toilet, and an office. This cabinet contributes to the overall structure of the apartment and redefines the spatiality of the entire place. The drawing covering the cabinet across the apartment creates a dialogue with the major trees in the backyard, making the apartment more integrated with its surroundings.
Merging Conviviality with Functionality: The Four Meters Concrete Worktop
Another important feature of the redesigned apartment is the four meters concrete worktop made on site. This worktop defines the relation between the living room and the kitchen and merges a conviviality space with a functional environment. The redesign plan aims to create an open and welcoming living space that encourages socializing and relaxation.
In conclusion, the Par-Delà Les Nuages Project by VOLTOLINI Architectures showcases an innovative and creative approach to apartment redesign. The project focuses on improving conviviality, increasing space and light, and redefining the spatiality of the entire place. With its fourteen meters cabinet and four meters concrete worktop, the redesigned apartment is a perfect blend of functionality, style, and comfort.
