Apartment - Towards the sun

Completed in 2016, the Apartment Towards the Sun is an attic residence organized around illumination and outward-oriented vistas. The center of the apartment is cut by a canyon within the structural frame that draws natural light in and directs views toward the south. The canyon expands rhythmically from north to south and terminates at a covered terrace offering a panoramic view over the city. Because the central portion doubles as the living room and as the primary communication hub connecting the other rooms, this unconventional arrangement eliminates the unnecessary corridors that usually consume attic floor area. In the western arm of the southern end, the central space opens into a bay housing the dining room, kitchen and gym, while the northern arm opens onto a wardrobe. The result is a residence in which the sun and the city are the organizing principles, every room reached through the luminous central spine rather than through leftover circulation.
