The study or office area includes on the ground floor a living room, a work area, a coffee station, and a half bathroom, while the upper floor has a large bookcase, a conference table, and work area, and a terrace. The terrace overlooks the street, so in order not to lose privacy, perforated steel plates were installed that can be opened and closed to control light or ventilation.

Description of project by AT Ztudio
Casa Ztudio is a personal project where we had the opportunity to create spaces that reflect our lifestyle and personality.
This project not only embraces simplicity through its geometry, distribution and materials but frames our daily life.
The house develops on a single floor plan, where it was important to us that both the common area (living room, kitchen, dining room) and bedroom had natural light and ventilation. For the multipurpose room, we were looking for the opposite, we wanted to create a dark room for meditation.
During the design process, we decided that the studio should be a totally independent space in order to keep work and personal life separate (which certainly is difficult to achieve).
As architects, we enjoy seeing the elements that makeup spaces, this is the reason the studio has an industrial look where raw materials such as the beams and steel deck are appreciated.
On the ground floor of the studio, you can find a workspace, a small lounge area and a bathroom; on the second floor, there is more workspace, a meeting area and a small terrace. Since the terrace faces the street we placed perforated steel plates to maintain privacy.
Without a doubt, the whole process of designing and building this project was full of emotions, but in the end, we get to enjoy and live in these spaces that tell our story.
