031 Campo de Ourique

This apartment is situated on the last floor of a four floor building, without an elevator, and a “left /right” typology.
The intervention is based on two fundamental points: firstly, the opportunity to take full advantage of the possibility of opening the apartment to the loft, to gain more space and volume and second be a project of low price . Then it was decided to demolish some of the walls and roofs, in order to increase space and create a link between the kitchen and living room. As a result, a direct relation is achieved with the two southern windows.
With the opening of the loft, it is possible to construct a mezzanine upon the living room for work area and guest room.
The new areas such as mezzanine, kitchen and sanitary installations were of higher elevation in relation to the original floor due to functional reasons. In addition, hydraulic mosaic was used as a coating. Each of these hydraulic mosaic floors have a specific design which characterizes and distinguishes the different areas.
