Intervention in a loft . Madrid

A young couple who live in an open floor loft needs to install their audiovisual production studio in the space but would like to keep office and flat clearly divided. Trying no to compromise the spatial generosity of the loft as it is, but defining functional transitions as well as giving a practical solution to the working space requirements, we propose a piece of furniture-architecture that integrates in one element several functions: storage of material, working platform, office shelves, dining room cabinet, bedroom cupboard, entrance to flat, staircase to mezzanine and toilet. The piece of furniture-architecture, made out of subtly painted chipboard, gives a slight industrial touch to the space without becoming too heavy since the details enfasise that this added element does not belong to the architecture of the building.
