A small two-level apartment of 20 sq.m.
This small duplex apartment in Madrid,Spain, has an area of only 20 m², which did not stop the team of designers and architects of the MYCC studio from turning it into a full-fledged urban housing for one person with all the necessary areas. The room has a feature that allowed the designers to bring the unusual project to life - it is longitudinal orientation and a high five-meter ceiling. With a room length of 9.5 m, a width of 2.1 m and a height of 5 m, the volume of the apartment is 100 m³. The project is called “100m³”.
The height of the space was used toplacement of several platforms on two levels, the transition between which is possible using light floating steps and ladders. All levels are visually connected to each other, even the bath and toilet do not have doors or partitions. However, a two-level apartment is intended for one person and there is practically nowhere to accommodate guests, so such openness of zones does not confuse or interfere, but, on the contrary, creates the integrity of the design.
Multi-level zoning is very interesting,to get from one zone to another, you need to make a small effort, go up somewhere, go down somewhere. There is no linear path. The interior of the two-level apartment is somewhat similar to a computer game where you need to jump from one platform to another. In total, it was possible to organize seven zones in a small space: the entrance to the apartment, the kitchen and the workplace are located on the upper level, the bedroom, lounge area and bathroom are on the lower level. Every nook and cranny, free space under stairs and platforms, is used for storing things.
There is only one window in the apartment, although it is large - inceiling above the work area. An abundance of electric lighting, white walls and laminate floors, the types of which you can read about on this website, make the entire room light and airy.
The 100m³ project is a great example of howyou can organize a cozy apartment interior with all the necessary zones in a small space of a non-standard shape. It’s a pity that in our hotels and Khrushchev-era apartments the ceilings are not five meters high...
