Carmen and Jorge are a couple with two children who contacted us to renovate Carmen’s grandfather’s old flat, adapting it to their current needs. Carmen had lived in the flat before, so she knew every corner intimately. We carried out a comprehensive intervention, slightly altering the original layout and material palette to improve functionality and give the space a new lease of life.

公寓位于五层，可以俯瞰室外的广场。原有的布局和材料阻碍了位于主立面的起居室获取自然光照明，这使厨房始终处于昏暗且与公共区域脱节的状态。经过与业主方一同探讨多种空间重组的方案后，最终选择了入口处开放式厨房的设计，并让起居室自然流动式地与其相连。

The flat is located on the fifth floor overlooking the square. The original layout and materials prevented natural light from the living room—located on the main façade—from reaching the kitchen, leaving these areas dark and disconnected. After evaluating various options with Carmen and Jorge on how to reconfigure the space, they opted for an open-plan kitchen at the entrance and a living room that flows into it.

儿童卧室、一间完整浴室和带卫浴的主卧套间则被安置在一条短走廊上，通过一扇旋转木门与主要起居空间分隔开来。

The children’s bedrooms, a full bathroom, and the main en suite bedroom are arranged along a short corridor, separated from the main living area by a pivoting wooden door.

该项目最独特的特征之一是其三角形平面。这赋予了部分房间独特的空间个性。设计团队顺应这一形态，将厨房布置在三角形的入口区域内，以中央岛台为核心进行布局，并通过一面通高隔墙将其与入户门分隔。入口、走廊与厨房实则构成了一个连续空间，仅通过地面材料的变化加以区分。

One of the project’s most distinctive features is its triangular floor plan, which gives certain rooms their unique character. We adapted the kitchen to the triangular entrance space, organising it around a central island and separating it from the main door with a full-height partition. The entrance, corridor and kitchen are essentially one continuous space, differentiated only by a change in floor material.
