The Best Room is an architecture research project designed and built by the students of EAST Section d'Architecture ENAC EPFL. The Best Room is open to the public until the 3rd july 2015.

«The project departs from the existing curve that creates the passage way for the walkers.From there one follows the topopgrahy to come to an end and walk behind the curved wall up the stairs.The main design of the apartment is based on a large functional room and a slim strip that contains all the services. The design follows the idea that the best room is the one that allows the most activities of the daily life. Furthermore, in plan, the entire room is not to be seen at first sight. Thanks to the curve it allows a changing atmosphere within the same space; a narrow entrance with a staircase that leads to a large space. The presence of the curved wall is reinforced with it’s materiality, slick white and without any openings: it shapes the space. In section the tilted roof opens up on a round window. The highest point of the ceiling emphasize the meeting point, gathering people around the round table. The window filters light through out the day and creates an intimate atmosphere within a double ceiling height room.»
