This is a transformation of a 1970s 3-bedroom apartment into a central single-space apartment. The forward-thinking structural design of the building – a series of large-span reinforced concrete beams spanning the entire depth of the apartment – allowed for the total removal of the original partition walls, creating a relative tabula rasa. The shafts were respected allocating the necessary infrastructure (kitchen, toilet and bathroom) attached to them. The resulting array, a perimeter of rooms, naturally encircles a central space for daily activities.
