SOFIA ALBRIGO, Louis De Belle · BC Apartment

Louis De Belle

The renovation of this attic reacts to the rules of the real estate market of the large
European capitals, where apartments are increasingly smaller and more expensive. A tent, like a virus, occupies the space without altering the original structure of the building.
The idea of the house is that of a base camp, you live on the ground, expanding your perception of space and sleep in an ephemeral tent. The condition of nomadism reflects our contemporaneity.
The intervention is minimal, a completely white space becomes the abstract and virtual scenario that hosts a few essential recovered objects, generic waste re-engineered specifically for the new shelter.
