“Tiles and concrete”
-
-
Located in Lasagnana, on a tiny street in the middle of Val Parma, the ground level of a former stable has been converted into an apartment-
studio for a young couple .
Dimensions and shapes come from the position of existing elements: windows, walls and columns.
The strongest element of the stable was for us the “whole space”
A bathroom is the only volume added, completely covered in white 10x10 cm tiles that bring light and uniformity. It is a freestanding structure
where space has been turned inside out. Inside the functions needed, outside the circulation.
The bathroom stands on a new concrete floor, which is separated from the existing walls and columns by a gap framed with steel plates that
define its limit and absorbs its flows.
The “whole space” is the bathroom, the bathroom is the “whole space”; All supported by a uniform slab.
No distinction only position and relation matters.
Division are possible through lightweight vertical surfaces hanging from a grid of stainless steel wires, which also transport the electrical ca-
bles around the space. The kitchen and the fireplace are under construction.
Once finished, realizing that the bathroom box looks like the face of a beautiful cow might just be a coincidence, but one that make us happy.
Because we love cows!
