House of Screens

A folded wall, reminiscent of a screen, acts as a filter between cooking and dining areas. It preserves the autonomy of each space while allowing cross-views which extend through the existing windows. Timber pilasters articulate the rhythm and the different openings varying between passages and an open bar. The chromatic game of figure and ground allows a visual intertwining of the screen and the kitchen features, blurring the limit between interior and exterior. Variations of the same primary colour – IKB and sky blue – emphasise the depth and surface quality of the elements. Exposed timber fragments, reference the existing oak floor, drawing a connection between old and new.
