Remodeling of the study department of our office, in the C.U.P.A. (Centro Urbano Presidente Alemán / President Alemán Urban Center), the first multifunctional housing building in Latin America, design by Mario Pani. The project consisted of recovering the constructive modulation of the building, rediscovering all the concrete slabs and columns, where we discovered the scars of the wooden planks of the falsework marked in the concrete. To our surprise, the module was so clear that we decided to make this scar an ordering motif of the rest of the elements.
The stained, acid-bleached and carved flooring follows the same exploded view as the suspended slabs above, new electrical installations were superimposed, all traveling outside columns and also aligned to the joints of the planking staves. Lastly, the space was articulated with various furniture elements, paste floors in a cold gray tone, and wooden doors, which, in addition to making the uses of the space more flexible, accentuate the composition of lines in the space.
Because the space is small the furniture is handled on a low scale, so as not to cut off the view / light.
