Text description provided by the architects. Since we visited the apartment for the first time, we realized that it was an uninteresting pre-existence. When faced with this evidence, we immediately wanted to create a “blank canvas” where the project would begin to be designed. Thus, much of the interior was demolished and by adapting the program (2 suites, 1 toilet and social area with kitchen) we wanted on the one hand to highlight structural poverty through the pre-existing beam and on the other to propose more noble and harmless finishes in a clear provocation to pre-existence.
