The arrival of a new member in the family pressed a young couple to think about a way to divide a room into two parts. The idea was to provide personal space for each child. The project answers this request for separation by adding a third space created by a partition. The creation of a “multiple-use furniture” unit in the middle of the space allows an addition of depth to the primary basic partition. It accommodates passages, secret storage, bed, office with a playful manner.

The specific blend generates a concentrated typology of spaces and situations in perpetual renewal. The new partition is penetrated to create steps, cavities and niches which suggest endless possibilities of use (climbing, hiding, drawing, etc).

The intermediate spaces found within this furniture unit encourage a journey of endless uses and possibilities.

Let the children play!
