The role of an architect is to create spatial solutions that optimise the functionality of a structure for its inhabitants. Recent years have seen sustainability become a central aim of architectural projects in the domestic, commercial and public sectors. A further dimension has been added, and we are now seeing the introduction of movement into modern architecture.
Buildings were static for thousands of years, but structural movement is now changing the way people live within buildings and properties. Everyone dreams of finding that one property that is perfectly situated, aesthetically pleasing and features an internal layout that meets every need. This is not always the case, and it is in these instances when renovation can offer the perfect solution.
The concept of a mobile furniture system has come a long way since the introduction of the space-saving wall bed. Mobile interior structures such as rotating walls can give your space greater flexibility and save you from separating your property into a series of smaller dividing rooms. Partitioning walls can be changed into floor to ceiling storage shelves and modified to pivot on small wheels and completely transform an internal space. Spanish practice PKMN Architectures recently adapted an apartment to accommodate more people and increase storage capacity by turning the property’s interior walls into rotating features.
A view can play an important part in the decision making process when it comes to property purchase. A building can offer a sensational view, but it may be that it is only visible from certain parts of the house. By replacing obstructing partitioning walls, KPMN Architectures created an open plan space which made the view accessible from any point in the property.
