For this project, a studio dwelling was designed for a creative couple living in Marseille who collects ceramics and therefore needs a lot of shelving space.
The original floor plan included very small, enclosed rooms. The new, open floor plan maximises the space of the apartment, and additional platforms create separate living zones. Folding partitions provide privacy and can be arranged flexibly.
Special attention was paid to a balanced lighting concept that should offer many possibilities for different needs and occasions. The necessary enclosed storage space was created with a separate cloakroom, many drawers set into the living room bench, a large wardrobe and additional drawers in the platforms. In addition, the building services such as electricity, plumbing and heating were carefully planned.

Natural, Mediterranean-sourced materials in calm and soothing colours give every surface a rich texture.
While the common area is dominated by the green-pigmented plaster walls and shelving and the tomette tiles typical of this region, the private spaces are wrapped in oak wood, accentuated with the light, unobtrusive terrazzo of the upper platform, which 'stages' the bed and bathtub.
