But it is not necessary to have a house of reduced dimensions to opt for one of these integrative solutions. In Berlin, for example, we find a much more comfortable department in which a large box of carpentry Green modulates space. It is located in the center of the department, and deals with distributing the different rooms between it and the existing walls.
One side of the cube is a bookstore, which communicates with the room. Another, the kitchen, within which it is hidden, created or not, a modular drop -down sauna. The other two serve as a backdrop for bedrooms, which are looking towards large windows and balconies. And the box itself houses the bathrooms discreetly.
The truth is, however, that total integration, which in medium -sized houses can be another form of distribution, in small spaces It becomes a huge advantage. We see it, for example, in the Doraemon House, which as happened with the pocket of the famous cat, can keep infinite functionalities under a seemingly simple aesthetic.
“The project is resolved through a double strategy. On the one hand, the plant is organized from a service band that integrates access, wet areas, storage and rest areathus releasing the main space, which opens to the windows and balconies to create a light atmosphere. In this way, the intimate areas are collected and protected from vision from access, ”explain their architects, the architects.
“On the other hand, the department is organized on two levels: the level of the access level and the main stay, and a second level, located at 90 centimeters high, in continuity with the kitchen countertop, where the rest area and the bathroom are located. The two heights not only allow to organize different environments, but also allow us to integrate extra functions into the house, such as a deep bathtub in the bathroom, a storage area under the bed, part of the facilities, etc. Optimizing each cubic meter of the house. Secret trapshes increase storage in high areas, while a mobile stairs furniture saves the slope, resolves storage and serves, at the same time, of small stands in the living room, ”they continue.
