Cómo aprovechar un salón de muy pocos metros

Lo primordial en un salón de pocos metros es aprovechar al máximo el espacio y potenciar la luz natural. Los colores claros -en paredes, tapicerías, puertas y suelos-, los muebles bajos y de reducidas dimensiones, son grandes aliado

Un buen recurso también es utilizar muebles funcionales y prácticos. Este salón, por ejemplo, cuenta con una mesa de centro que se levanta y baja a voluntad, a través de sus piernas y altura regulable, y puede, por lo tanto ser utilizado como mesa de centro o mesa de comedor, según la ocasión.

Detrás del sofá, se ha aprovechado un antiguo conducto de humos, para instalar en la pared unas gruesas planchas de roble teñido que cumplen la función de una biblioteca.

Para obtener más luz, las paredes y el sofá son de tonos claros, y las cortinas son transparentes. El resto de la decoración es suave y femenino: el sofá decorado con cojines de seda pastel, y en el suelo, una alfombra de pelo de vacuno teñidos de fucsia.

Paredes para niños artistas

Desde ahora, en las paredes sí se escribe, se dibuja y se pinta. Estas opciones te servirán para que tus niños muestren su arte y creatividad en las paredes (sin destrozarlas) de sus dormitorios y cuartos de juego.

Una opción es convertir una pared en una pizarra con una pintura especial. Los colores más habituales son verde (como los tableros escolares) y negro (opción más actual), pero hay firmas como Cuarto Color que han desarrollado hasta 10 colores diferentes en pintura de pizarra. Lo puedes adquirir en tiendas especializadas de pintura y bricolaje.


Otra opción muy divertida es convertir una pared en tablero magnético con pinturas que incorporan partículas metálicas y permiten sujetar elementos directamente en la pared, con imanes. Para que la superficie tenga magnetismo hay que aplicar 3-4 capas y renovarlas cada año (2 capas más). Las hay con acabados de pizarra como las de Bruguer y otras que permiten cualquier acabado como la de Mag Paint (Pinturalmán).

KB center

Waltritsch a+u designed the KBcenter, a new space for cultural and social interaction dedicated to the Slovenian community in Gorizia, Italy.

It is located in the heart of the 19th century development of the city, on the main street of the town. The center gathers 13 organizations, dedicated to different cultural interest and age groups. Among others, a Library, two Educational Institutions, The Slovenian cultural and economical Association and The Music school. The main goal is the promotion of the Slovenian cultural activity in a framework of a respectful multiethnic society.

The project consist of a functional renovation of an existing building, as well as of a new two story building for the Library, located in the interior courtyard. The form of the new building deals with the issue of the dialogue between a historical presence and the contemporary architectural language, within the physical constrictions of the historical city. The choice of the façade materials, synthetic wood and large glass surfaces, was made to favor a delicate insertion.

The whole building was thought as “a large piece of furniture which slides on the courtyard floor”, in order not to break the intimacy of the courtyard self and of the garden. The large windows are acting as program displayed, and are favoring the visual inclusion of the refurbished garden in the daily activities of the Library. The large glass surfaces are fixed so that framework is reduced. The natural ventilation is happening through some large panels hidden in the façade cladding. When they are closed one can notice them only because of the stainless steel line acting as railing. The façade materials are treated as a complete surface without frames, sometimes provoking an ambigos reading. From a certain distance the glass surface appears to be heavier than the wood. From a close up, the large glass surface reflects the garden and the life around, and almost disappears.

On ground floor the building host the Library depot, with a capacity of 25.000 books. The shelves, which are in most projects considered as non aesthetic element, are here generously exposed and underlined with a chromatic choice.

Open Living Design : The Sebastopol Residence By Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects

Located in Sebastopol California this cozy home was designed for two graphic designers by Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects last year. The exterior is constructed from cedar siding with a metal roof and the interior features a Douglas fir ceiling and decking, sheetrock walls and Ipe flooring. The home has an expansive view from the glass facade of the northern wall while the elevation of the south wall gives privacy from the road outside, but still receives light from the clerestory windows. An open floor plan gives the residence a spacious feel although it is a modest size at 1,700 square feet.

Dolce & Gabana Headquarters in Milano

New D&G showroom. With a surface of 5.000 square meters, the imposing D&G building in Milano, Italy is a combination of classic elements and modern influences. Designed by architectural studio Piuarch, the construction is actually a contemporary building juxtaposed over a ‘900 one. Here are some words from the architects that best describe the project’s features: ” The facades of the building housing the showrooms are entirely glazed and feature a series of vertical, closely spaced louvers of opal glass. This membrane, made of glass, acts as a filter, softly diffusing the daylight through the building and serving at the same time as a sunshade.”
