We cannot have a party because we don’t have a broad area of a good dimension, even less carry out what we would do as teenagers when we slept 15 friends on the ground of a same space; for at least one day in a year I would like to sleep like a king, in a room of 60m².
The proposal reinterprets the project from the architects Aranguren y Gallegos (Madrid, Spain), and it tries to solve this questions through a system of movable wall panels and niches to hide the beds, therefore we can transform the little spaces in others of greater dimensions, depending on the will and the needs of the user.
We explore the versatility; depending of the time of day or night, the house’s space will vary.
