At the first inspection, the large apartment located on the top floor of a building from the sixties appeared as a collection of large rooms where time had stood still; a dark and dismal environment despite the spaciousness, not only because of the winter light. The challenge was launched: to divide the large housing unit to obtain two units that, with half the space but multiplied light and functionality (without making changes to existing window surfaces!), conveyed through every detail the privileged feeling of staying at the beach. This project describes the unity that, organized in just 55 gross sqm, through the use of lines, colors and assembled surfaces to expand the spatiality, accompanies the visitor all the way from the entrance on a perspective path, relaxing and bright towards the view on the sea.
