A unique space, divided into 2 by just one step, traversed from side to side by the views, the light and the outside. A space that is completed with a large closet where all the equipment is displayed as secret hiding places, giving in addition to the spatial quality the complexity of those small secret accesses that enrich the perception of the created space.

Project description by Fala Atelier
A tiny palace in a narrow garden. The luxuriant environment suggested an ambivalent approach to the architectural object. At human height, the palace is transparent, but its crown is proud, adorned with precious stones, and spans across the perimeter walls.
The interior is utterly simple while equally rich, partially sunken to emphasise the presence of the surrounding greenery. Thus, in a Loos-like manner, two representative areas are defined by the different floors, with different degrees of intimacy. The only walls are the longitudinal sides of the space, in continuity with the perimeters of the garden. The bathroom and storage room are hidden behind a unitary cabinet of lacquered wood, whose scale deliberately sits somewhere between architecture and furniture. A palace shouldn’t be too simple after all.
