Remodeling

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The remodeling of interiors is often taken as an opportunity to unveil spatial possibilities.

In this book, remodeling refers to the reconfiguration of existing spaces to create living environments tailored to the needs of their unique occupants. This process results in the replacement or improvement of that which already exists, and therefore, the co-existence of new and old architectural elements becomes a challenge to surpass or an effect to desire.

Two situations are presented:
First, residential spaces that have become outdated and no longer suit the needs of the new occupants.
Second, existing non residential spaces that have been converted. Urban environment offers so many structures in which the original primary function was not intended for living. However, these structures are eagerly sought-after as places to explore and enjoy as living spaces.
The idea in both cases is to create vibrant spaces; functional and at the same time versatile, considering and examining the occupants´ daily routines, movements and tastes.
