The premise for this apartment was to move away from stereotypes and create an austere and cosmopolitan space for a contemporary dandy.

The structure of bays organizes the space in program strips that cross diagonally towards the views of a block garden facing west. The aim is to allow light to pass through the entire space, which is why a stainless steel pillar and a fluted marble column, present next to the light at the moment of entry, make up a single support.

The project questions the traditional functioning of the housing of the Ensanche, defying local regulations, so new ways of colonizing the space are sought, in this case: the gallery. This is occupied by the kitchen: a steel monolith with a futuristic appearance, at the same time a control center where all the technology of the house is concentrated. At sunset, a motorized fabric blind filters the sunlight, tinting the interior orange. The nostalgic atmosphere places us in a future that has not yet arrived.
