Apartment renovation in Madrid

BERIOT, BERNARDINI ARQUITECTOS as Architects

The project plays with the idea of a landscape to distort the apartment’s small size.The request by the client for a “real” staircase to climb to the elevated bed allows forthe construction of a “mountain” which also serves as delimitation between accessand kitchen and as storage, entrance cupboard and workspace at its top. A smalltable grows out of a step, with two stools shadowing its form when they hide under it.The kitchen’s contour is outlined precisely, framing it to define its limits and creatinga new object for the landscape.


Se propone convertir la vivienda, de tamaño muy reducido, en un paisaje que distorsione su escala real. La petición por parte del cliente de una escalera normal para acceder al pequeño altillo-dormitorio marca la pauta para la creación de una “montaña” que es también almacenamiento y armario en el acceso, delimitación entre éste y cocina, y estudio en su parte alta. Una mesa crece de un peldaño, acompañada de taburetes que reflejan su forma al esconderse bajo ella. La cocina se delimita en su contorno, creando un marco que restringe su influencia y genera un nuevo objeto en el paisaje.
