Five sliding plywood panels hanging from a steel rail in this apartment
in central Munich separate the private spaces for bathing and sleeping
from themain living and working areas. This inventive and flexible
solution to partitioning is the work of Siggi Pfundt, architect of the loft.
In order to retain the original character of the former
factory, the loft was renovated using simple materials and methods. The
original concrete floor is painted in the living area, a custom-made
stainless-steel unit functions as a kitchen and the bathtub is reclaimed
from Pfundt's grandmother's garden. In the sleeping area, beech strip
flooring has been laid to differentiate the space from the living room.
The most have been made with wit as well as practical
considerations in mind. This includes a ceiling for the lavatory cubicle
constructed from wired glass, a former dumb waiter has been converted
into a sort of shrine/chimney ensemble. |
