An immersion in an apartment designed in the 1930s by Australian architect Best Overend, a pioneer of minimalism. The building then provided services (laundry, communal kitchen, etc.) to free people from cumbersome household equipment.
Nowadays, a private kitchen has been created, while respecting the original principles of integrated furniture.
This new space takes the form of an ingenious “toolbox” module that unfolds and slides out, taking up minimum space.
The cheerful hues are inspired by the bright yellow floor of Le Corbusier’s famous Cabanon.
The rail-mounted elements conceal a plethora of storage space. Kitchen dresser on one side…
… bookcase on the other! It can also be used as a room divider. The bed is in the former kitchenette, leaving more space for the living room.
The decor remains uncluttered to maintain the feeling of space.
High ceilings also contribute to this, especially in such a compact area.
Light flows through this elegant fluted glass ROOF, illuminating the dressing room with indirect sunlight.
In addition to the optimized, bright dressing room, the bathtub completes the sense of space and attention to detail.
