像巴黎这样的大城市的房地产市场越来越紧张了。房租飙升,而面积减少。在这种情况下,人们越来越多地被要求住在小空间。特别是对于学生或低收入者来说,10至15平方米的单间正成为常态。对于建筑师来说,这种新型的生活方式是一种挑战,因为它迫使我们最大限度地提高空间感和生活质量。

The real estate market in big cities like Paris is tenser and tenser. Rents shoot up whereas surface areas decrease. In this context, people are more and more obliged to live in small spaces. Especially for students or low incomes, studios from 10 to 15m² are becoming the norm. For architects, this new type of living is challenging because it forces us to maximize the feeling of space and the quality of living.

我们年轻的建筑工作室miogui,不得不在巴黎翻新一个12.75m²的微型工作室Gambetta,它位于一个前酒店。现有的情况是平庸的,一个对空间来说太大的浴室,浴室里有一个窗户,另一个在主要空间,一个小厨房,一个大衣柜,一张床。我们想回答的主要问题是:如何使空间看起来更大?

Our young architectural atelier, miogui, had to refurbish a micro-studio, Gambetta, of 12.75m² in Paris, located in a former hotel. The existing situations are banal, a bathroom too big for the space, one window in the bathroom, one other in the main space, a little kitchen, a big wardrobe, a bed. The main question we want to answer is: How can the space look bigger?

感受更大的空间。我们的第一个行动是摧毁浴室的墙,为生活空间重新提供第二个窗户。对我们来说,重要的是通过尽可能地压缩技术空间来给客厅提供最大的空间和光线。为了打破小客厅的感觉,我们把一整面墙的镜子覆盖起来。一面没有接头的大镜子给人的印象是一个额外的房间。有趣的是,在参观过程中,人们撞到了它,并想走得更远。有趣的是,这样一个巨大的元素,甚至是难以带入的元素,最终可以消失,创造更多的空间。

Feeling of a bigger space. Our first action was to destroy the bathroom wall to give back the second window for the living space. It was important for us to give the maximum space and light to the living room by compacting as much as we could technical spaces. To break the feeling of a small living room, we covered an entire wall of mirrors. One big mirror without joints give the impression of an extra room. Funny fact, during the visits, people hit it and wanted to go further. It is interesting how such a huge element, even difficult to bring in, can finally disappear to create more space.

抽象性。值得注意的是,在小空间里,我们必须保持一定程度的抽象性,模糊了对空间和尺寸的理解,这是我们几年前在日本工作时学到的概念。几何学的使用:图纸是由强烈的几何形状引导的,寻找平面的美感。细节也遵循同样的想法。拉手必须是几何形状的,看起来不像拉手,卫生间的门和壁橱是一个简单的球形按钮。

Abstraction. It is important to note that in small spaces we have to keep a certain degree of abstraction that blurs the understanding of the space and dimensions, a notion that we learned during our work in Japan a few years ago. The use of geometry: drawings are guided by strong geometrical shapes, looking for the beauty of the plan. Details follow the same idea. The handles have to be geometrical, don’t look like handles, a simple sphere button for the bathroom door and closet.

与感知的游戏:看起来不像是门的门。浴室的门是一块简单的松木板,在镜子的中间,像漂浮在太空中。门的比例,50厘米宽,使它更高。原材料的使用:家具的木材是非常基本的,松木,我们假设它的美学,创造了装饰品。地板只是涂了混凝土。外墙的柱子和横梁是原始混凝土。

The game with perception: doors that don’t look like doors. The door of the bathroom is a simple pinewood plank in the middle of the mirror, like floating in space. The proportion of the door, 50cm wide, makes it higher. The use of raw materials: the wood of the furniture is a very basic one, pinewood, we assume its aesthetics that creates ornaments. The floor is just painted concrete. Pillars and beams in the facade are raw concrete.

揭示结构。对于每个项目,我们试图揭示结构的真相。我们擦洗了涂层,揭示了下面的混凝土结构。与公寓的白色和干净的方面相比,这种粗糙的表面创造了一个良好的平衡。它将公寓与整个建筑联系起来。在这样的小空间里工作真的很有挑战性。即使在这些小空间里,可能性也是无穷的。我们的目标是在功能性和抽象性之间找到最佳的平衡,真正关注细节和比例。

Reveal the structure. For every project, we try to reveal the truth about the structure. We scrubbed the coating to reveal the concrete structure underneath. In contrast with the white and clean aspect of the apartment, this rough surface creates a good balance. It links the flat to the entire building. Working in such small spaces is really challenging. Even in those small spaces, possibilities are endless. The aim is to find the best balance between functionality and abstraction, with real attention to details and proportions.

由于空间是旧的,我们总是要处理不规则的问题,意外的发现。施工现场就像第二个构思阶段,在那里必须调整细节,迅速做出决定。与工匠的理解和对话是一个好项目的关键。

As the spaces are old, we always have to deal with irregularity, unexpected discoveries. The construction site is like a second conception phase, where details have to be adapted, decisions made quickly. The understanding and dialogue with the craftsmen are essential for a good project.
