Pied-À-Terre



...the designer must be able to see - make a concentrated effort to absorb the essence of the project. Seeing is a very difficult thing to do. Most people look at a lot of things but never see anything.
Looking is emotional; seeing is an intellectual process.
~Albert Hadley



It takes patience to design a compact space that feels like a joy to return to rather than a compromise.  Designed for a young professional it is tailor-made for frequent overnight stays.  The one-room space (50 sq m) was sub-divided to allow for a bathroom and kitchenette to be added.  Practical lay-out decisions ensured that the space feels relaxing and easy to live with.
