CASA BODRITO
appartamento CAGLIARI - Italy
1993

This project of refurbishment aimed to optimise the day-time area of this apartment, the former layout of which was too space-wasting (because of its rigid separation between rooms and because of the presence of mono-functional areas – as like the kitchen - which strongly limited the breath of common living spaces). All partitions between entrance hall, living room and kitchen, as well as their lobbies, have been knocked down in order to eliminate wasted areas and unify spaces: the traditional kitchen has been reduced to the only function of cooking and storing food, now located in a 7x1,7mt space, largely sufficient to the family’s needs; its former dining area has been annexed to the widened living room, and it is now well enough proportioned and designed to allow to also receive guests here, benefiting of the double advantage of being directly connected to the kitchen, yet well separated from it thanks to a wide and luminous partition consisting of glazed sliding panels.
