Appreciation towards ES Arch for providing the following description:

这个被装修的公寓建于上个世纪60年代，层高较低但是每个房间都有采光，并且和外面的大露台相联系。大窗户为室内带来了良好的采光和优美的远山景色。客厅和露台的联系被强调。因为窗口的存在而且不能改动，让墙壁的利用变得困难，为了划定一个内外边界，设计师做出了一个波浪状不规则的大理石台阶，这里是内与外的界限，也是座位和台面。厨房的大玻璃推拉门完全打开时，就会与客厅和饭厅融为一体。

室内的地板是橡木的。灯具被谨慎的与室内家具搭配。他们的色彩都与沙滩以及大海的主题契合。角落的沙发其绿色代表着水下景观，与墙壁和书架有着色差，让人忽略这里是在角落。卧室和浴室也在同一主题之下。这是一个通过色彩，材料，透明分割，空间序列定义来展现大海优雅气氛的尝试研究。

Casa YM – the colours of sand
Renovation of a penthouse

The penthouse is located above a block of flates, built in the sixties. The flat area is smaller than the lower floors, due to the façade withdrawing that generates a great terrace, all around the flat. Every room is connected with the exterior.

A flat roof defines the volume, closed by a sequence of walls and large windows. A large quantity of light comes in the interior spaces from these windows, which offers a favoured view on the hills of the up country and to the coasts.

The new plan organization favours direct connection between living room and the great terrace. The main project purpose is to define a threshold between this two spaces. Due to the presence of several windows, the wall is difficultly usable. Besides living room and terrace are located on different levels. The solution is a fixed furniture, with irregular profile, a wave covered by a marble top that make ephemeral the border between in and out. At the same time is a seating, a base, a support.

The glazed kitchen, that seems polished by water, with glazing lavastone floor, is strict in shapes and refined in materials. Visible through the glazed sliding doors, it’s a quiet presence that change the space of living room, becoming an extension of the latter when the doors are open.

The oak floor, chairs, wooden furniture, some walls paint, suspension lamps, take up the colour of sand. Suspension lamps remind naval lanterns, emphasized by the contrast with other more discreet lights, as recessed lamps. Three elements organize the corner with the sofa. Green colour that remind underwater landscapes, the contrast between the different colour of the walls, and the upper bookshelves that change the measure of the wall. These solutions cancel the corner perception.

The same “sand theme” characterizes bedrooms and bathrooms. A renovation that research, through colours, materials, use of transparencies and space sequence definition, an elegant sea atmosphere.
