The Ruiz-Maasburg house to make the most of the last centimeter of 60 apartments in an attic in the heart of Madrid, where housing prices rank the city as the 14th most expensive in the world.
Madrid-based architect Garcia & Ruiz has employed theatrical ingenuity to give the flat an impression of wider spatial perspectives.
A sinuous hallway, which curves and shifts unexpectedly, creates a diagonal across the floorspace, dividing the private bedroom area from the living room and kitchen. A double-curving internal wall creates dramatic shadows, enhanced by lighting and implying further depth. The effect is of travelling through a much larger floor space.
The use of white and lighting are intended to create multiple nuances of shadows. Use of black panels as a contrast colour gives a sense of scale and depth.
The main spaces flow into one other, minimising connecting doors. According to the practice, the result is an interesting combination of architecture and scenography.
