Minimal Apartment Project | juan david martinez jofre

At the beginning of the reform of the building, the current state was characterized by a classic style, in which the interior partitions predominated, which together with a dark chromatic, endowed the space of little luminosity.

The main objective of the reform was to provide the housing with greater amplitude and luminosity in all its surface, reason why the demolition of a great part of the interior partitions as well as of all the existing linings, sanitary and furniture were demolished.

When accessing the house, a clearly minimalist aura is seen, the white supremacy combined with the gray shades of the concrete create a perfect color balance, highlighted by the constant entrance of natural light through the large perimeter windows, which give us access to The outside terrace.

A determining factor in the distribution was the proposed change of stay of the kitchen, integrating it in the living room, forming the heart of the property. To isolate it from the rest of the house, a laminated glass perimeter enclosure has been designed with pivoting closures, which perfectly fulfills the isolation function without depriving us of the spectacular panoramic view of the sea.

There is a great sense of spaciousness, caused by the diaphanousness of space, and the obsession to design a house with great storage capacity, leaving nothing in sight. All the utensils of the house remain hidden, through carpentry specially designed to be flush with the facing.

In the night area two existing rooms were grouped together to form the large master bedroom, comprising dressing room and bathroom en suite, which stands out for its retro illuminated headboard and its uncovered roof.

The crispness of the white and the refined marble contrasts with the brutalism of the bare roof, forming a unique atmosphere.

Each element, each coating, each mechanism, has been chosen with great care, in order to obtain a perfect visual balance.

Furniture with translucent materials has been chosen to provide greater visual lightness to the whole and enjoy a complete view from any point of the house to the exterior.

All the interior carpentry of the house has been designed in white, with frame and hidden hinge, giving a feeling of continuity with the rest of the walls of the house.

The exterior carpentry has been completely replaced by aluminum joinery with thermal bridge break and solar control, combining white and greyish tones.

Special attention has been paid to lighting, combining fully embedded elements and surface elements, with great light versatility and the ability to create different environments in a simple way.

The mechanisms have been chosen in white Corian and chrome for the walls coated in white and finished polished graphite for the gray walls.
