Refreshing, the set of different pavements proposed by architects, that depending on the room as if it were a new carpet they propose a pavement with different geometries and colors in every room of this inner remodeling.
Description of project by their architects
The housing, is situated on the second floor of an housing building in a residential neighborhood in Toledo´s city, with six small rooms destined to the living room, the kitchen and four rooms, all of them united by an ingesting and dark corridor.
Therefore the propose, reduces the number of rooms and organizes the livings such to provide better the lighting voids and the existence ventilation, improving, also, the access and the energy efficiency.
The principal challenge is who we combine the traditional program with the contemporary fictional scheme and who we give the sense of continue to the multiple stays, giving, at the same time, an independence. To achieve these objectives all os the carpentry elements are custom designed: doors with the total heigh, wall-ceiling, that are hidden within the furniture, wardrobes, dressers, bookcases, shelves, kitchen, etc.
The " color scarf", the hydraulic tilings, in contrast to the white tones of walls and ceilings, runs along the surface of the housing, stressing the continuity between spaces. At the same time the size and type of soil motifs as its color, qualify the scale and gives the scale and gives a singular identity to each room. Thus, the program can work as a sequence of isolated units or as a single continuous space.
The use of traditional materials for the flooring is closely related to the family memory of the owners. Since this type of ground is made by hand we could qualify pigmentation decorative motifs depending on the needs, creating a tapestry of different colors.
