Mini apartment project Salva46: compact kitchen with dining area
Key features
Mini-apartment project developed by designersSpanish studio Studio P10 together with specialists from Miel Arquitectos, makes you think about how subjective the perception of space is and how much our assessment depends on its visual characteristics. The room they designed is clearly divided into two independent sections, each of which contains four functional zones. The authors of the project were guided by the basic needs of a modern city dweller for sleep, work, rest and hygiene. The goal was to ensure a balance between psychological and physical comfort. Separate sections are located on the side of the main facade, and from each of them there is access to the central common space, which unites the kitchen, dining room and utility rooms.
Idea
Taking into account the compact dimensionspremises, the designers especially carefully thought out ways to ensure privacy for the apartment residents. Throughout the day, residents have the opportunity to be alone and rest from the hustle and bustle thanks to the presence of partially isolated areas that remain accessible to sunlight. At night, the sections are transformed into separate apartments using sliding doors.
The 3.4 metre high ceiling is an undeniable featureadvantage of the interior, which made it possible to arrange multifunctional mezzanine levels. These bizarre structures hang menacingly over the beds, but the authors of the project vouch for their safety and suggest evaluating the advantages of such a solution. Perhaps someone will be interested in the fact that the partially glazed walls of the bathroom not only provide daylight penetration inside, but also allow you to see from above what is happening in it...
Decor
Eco-friendly, recycled andRecycled materials formed the basis of the decor, guaranteeing its expressiveness and uniqueness. Thus, the cement tiles produced by hydraulic pressing adorned the walls of the apartment even before the reconstruction: the architects carefully dismantled them, sanded them and reused them for decoration. The kitchen set, which had already served other people, was adapted to the requirements of the space and updated in accordance with the chosen concept. The spectacular parquet, in which a modern character can be discerned, contrasts with the cracks and unevenness of the 19th century brickwork. It feels like you are looking at an old photograph of someone's apartment: the whitewashed walls look so authentic. Their uncovered flaws do not escape attention, which makes the interior seem lived in, possessing history and unique. The image is completed by the furniture - simple, comfortable and stylish.
Of course, these mini-apartments cannot be calledmodels of practicality. However, the authors of the project did not strive to make them as such. Correspondence to the lifestyle of a modern city dweller is a property that should be considered key for the interior presented here. And would you like to call such an apartment your home?
