Design for living inside a sculpture

The “habitable sculpture” project is the dream of any designer, the lucky recipient of that commission was Canadian architect Jean-Maxime Labrecque. Your project awarded 2 major awards in 2011 was to fill an empty space of 75 square meters with a module that contains all the elements necessary for life. The premises from which he had to leave his project was to create a cool space comparable to an art gallery.

The architect was therefore with absolute freedom or sense of warmth and welcoming space. It all came down to pure pragmatism therefore, to create a module that contains all the elements necessary for the life of a person subject.

The raw aluminum metal modules like a sculpture of Donald Judd contain everything you need, from the bed to the kitchen. Linear, naked and uncompromising humanity, as if the house were to be inhabited by an artificial entity.

And although everything is beautiful, polished concrete and aluminum create a clean and clear environment where the outside light reverb on all surfaces. A bright environment reflections count as much as reality itself.

The most important point is space saving and functionality, seeing the images of one will not just believe that we are only seeing a loft of 75 square meters, on the contrary gives a feeling of enormous breadth. It is as if space had expanded, it looks much bigger than it is.

The extreme simplicity and the beauty of the straight line.A place to live that does not seem a home and yet has a unique charm. As always say simplicity is the most difficult to reproduce.

And something that is not usually talk about in this world of design, the extreme ease with which they should be able to clean this house. The dream of any person engaged in the maintenance and cleaning.
