Andrea is a practicable piece of furniture, set up so as to become the main protagonist of the project.
Arranged in order to occupy the less illuminated part of the space, this off-scale object articulates the two living areas. This solid wood volume, working as a private fortress, is smooth and unattainable.
A simple layout activates a set of mobile screens, revealing by choice either all or parts of what’s inside. The access is via a jib door, next to the kitchen.
Once pulled back, a 30 cm riser becomes the first signal of the private aspect of the premises that one is about to discover. Inside, a sliding wooden partition hides the shower room while the access to the main room requires to climb a few more stairs.
The space is narrower, with less high ceiling, at the scale of a human body. A retractable partition allows to open the door that leads to the living-room. You are then able to see more as the sensation of spaciousness is multiplied.
