This apartment, which is not owned by the tenant, clearly had limited margins in terms of intervention. Yet, the desire to dwell in a better space and to overcome the drawbacks of the existing configuration were not abandoned. The small kitchen and the long corridor space were re-thought and rearranged. Lighting was carefully designed/placed, and a banquette was fabricated to fit in the dining area. Techniques to minimise the traces of the interventions were discovered as well as cost efficient design/fabrication methods.
