Textual content description supplied by the architects. The venture takes place in a tough social context in Evreux suburbs. The small area of 13 m² was in unhealthy situation and wanted a complete refurbishment. The optimistic level of the area is the ground of the massive window to ceiling that occupies half of the facade’s wall.

As in a lot of the studios, loos are all the time too large and the kitchen too small. To re-establish a great stability, the one partition of the area, the lavatory’s wall is destroyed to achieve some valuable sq. meters.

A brand new wall of glass blocks makes a particular partition between the small rest room and the kitchen however permits mild to move in. Ground to ceiling, it creates a brand new vertical proportion, enhanced by the 50cm vast and 250cm excessive wood door. The kitchen is lowered to a minimal, absolutely fabricated from wooden.

To deliver some enjoyable and motion within the area a curved yellow curtain can divide the area, conceal the cabinets, and add privateness to the lavatory. Because the area is small, this movable ingredient modifies the geometry and proportion of the room. Related to the blue linoleum ground and the pink pillar of the kitchen, it reminds the first colours of  Mondrian.

Pipes are accepted and let seen as a sculptural object. A blue joint within the bathe distinction with the small white tiles. The triangular sink backboard performs with the round mirror. The plinths are fabricated from white marble-like tiles. The lavatory deal with, fabricated from the identical tile, is sort of a fall-down glass block.
