00:00How you experience space is marked by the sequence of moving through space,
00:04through varying heights and through material change.
00:08It's all about contrast, it's all about depth, it's all about layering of views.
00:14The apartment block is built in the 1950s, it's 28 square meters.
00:21We gutted the apartment completely and then we installed a couple of steel beams to pick up loads from above.
00:27Then it allowed me to completely reorganise the space below.
00:32The apartment is a series of small spaces.
00:36The first half of the space is marked by three compartments.
00:40The kitchen, the bathroom and the threshold.
00:45Having that black kitchen as you come into the space,
00:47pulls your eye through the kitchen, through the light, gives you a hint of what's in the next room.
00:53The bench top is a servery, but it's also easy mise en place.
00:57With the joinery we went full height, so there is deep storage, which is accessible from both sides.
01:04What binds the kitchen and the bathroom together is the threshold.
01:08It hides all your plumbing and the wardrobe is camouflaged in this portal.
01:14As you come in there's that tile on the ground which continues on into the bathroom,
01:19which continues up the wall, which ends at the ceiling.
01:22It gives you that sense of continuity from one space into the next.
01:26Even the organisation of where we decide to place that full height mirror layers the space even further.
01:32The simple plane creates a space under and over.
01:36So there's that transition in height as well.
01:38So the volume of the space is changed.
01:41It's about the range of affordances that come with this horizontal plane.
01:46You know, it's a space that the bed sits on.
01:48The bed slides under, put the table on the platform, it seats six comfortably.
01:55The ply continues on along the edges of the plane with extra storage.
02:01I suppose what I wanted for the main space was the simplest gesture possible.
02:08It's a horizontal plane oriented towards the view.
02:24I'll frame that as well.
02:28It recozy, the foot frame – the new one, the further back.
02:30It's typical of my安定.
02:31The food frame tracks but it's smooth.
02:31moving up the table.
02:32The table straight.
02:32It's long as not as a возду orientisaker.
