JM55是将70年代在马德里建造的一个简陋的公寓改造成一个实验性的住宅。这座70年代建在马德里Joan Maragall街的住宅区,复制了当时的分配模式,设法在40平方米的范围内容纳两间卧室、一间完整的浴室、一个客厅和一个厨房。这些独立的房间严格遵守必要的最低功能要求,减少了每个房间的潜在面积。

JM55 is the transformation of a humble apartment built in the seventies in Madrid into an experimental dwelling. The housing block built in the ’70s on Joan Maragall Street in Madrid, replicated the distribution paradigm of the time, managing to fit two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen in 40m2. The independent rooms strictly complied with the necessary functional minimums, reducing each one’s potential size.

拟议的改造从根本上反对这一原则,拆除了空间之间的划分,消解了与每个空间相关的用途限制。一个中央核心整合了房子的所有设施,厕所是唯一可以被隔离的元素。其余的材料、用途和房间相互融合、相互污染,因此住户既可以在卫生间睡觉,也可以在客厅洗澡。一块白色的瓷砖象征性地标志着整个房子的潮湿用途,完全覆盖了中心部分和它附近的地板。

The proposed transformation is radically opposed to this principle, dismantling the divisions between spaces and dissolving the limits of the uses associated with each of them. A central core integrates all the facilities of the house, being the toilet the only element that can be isolated. The rest of the materials, uses and rooms merge and contaminate each other, so that the tenants sleep in the bathroom as well as shower in the living room. A piece of white tiling symbolically marks the wet uses that are present throughout the house, completely coating the central piece and the floors near it.

作为一个相反的策略,天花板上的栏杆画出了一个完全不同的空间蓝图。由纺织品分割封闭的临时空间似乎允许互补的活动,或隔离那些需要更高程度隐私的活动。通过这种方式,可以建立一个学习舱,一个卧室可以被隔离,或者厨房可以被隐藏。划分这些空间的窗帘在物质上反映了它们所要庇护的活动,因此卧室被包裹在棉被制成的窗帘中,而书房可以被折叠的毡条制成的窗帘包围。

As an opposite strategy, rails included in the ceilings draw the blueprint of a totally different space. Temporary spaces closed by textile divisions appear to allow complementary activities or isolate those which require a higher degree of privacy. In this way a study capsule can be set up, a bedroom can be isolated or the kitchen can be hidden. The curtains that delimit these spaces materially reflect the activities they are intended to shelter so that the bedroom is wrapped in a curtain made of quilts, while the study can be enclosed by a curtain made of folded felt strips.
