The project proposes a reorganisation of a domestic interior around the idea of the house as a continuous sequence. Rather than defining the dwelling through a collection of independent rooms, the intervention establishes a fluid relationship between the different spaces, allowing circulation, storage and everyday life to become part of the architectural structure.
A continuous timber front runs through the apartment, acting as an architectural threshold between the served and serving spaces of the house. Rather than functioning simply as a piece of furniture, it incorporates storage, doors and other domestic functions within a single element, concentrating the more utilitarian spaces and freeing the main rooms around them.
The same timber extends from the vertical front onto the floor, reinforcing the continuity of the element and guiding the movement through the apartment. The material follows the wall as it unfolds through the different spaces, transforming what could be understood as a boundary into a continuous architectural device. New openings and thresholds connect the living areas while maintaining their individual character.
The result is a house understood less as a set of rooms than as a continuous path through everyday life.
