Description
Atlasi Apartment is the transformation of a newly built residential unit with a generic layout into a fully inhabitable home. The project began with a fundamental question: how can new spatial qualities be produced within the internal logic of an existing plan and under strict structural constraints? And through which architectural tools can such values emerge? The design approach focused on breaking down a continuous and homogeneous space into a series of intimate, functional, and differentiated zones. Rather than altering physical boundaries, the project sought to create a diverse spatial geography for everyday living through non-structural means. Legal and infrastructural limitations ruled out changes to walls, openings, or major building systems. Through a minimalist architectural language and in direct engagement with constraints, the project aims to create a warm, functional, and contemporary domestic environment aligned with everyday life.
