Oasis

Authors’ Comment

The 100 sqm apartment located in the city center has been designed for short-term rental to expatriates. It features three bedrooms, a spacious living room, and a dining area, catering to families or groups traveling together.

The design is centered around the concept of "conviviality," focusing on the dynamics of social spaces that have been reimagined to function as "a home away from home." The dining and leisure areas are interconnected by an archway, creating an expansive "living" space that emphasizes an open atmosphere, socializing, and human interaction. To illustrate the importance of the here-and-now, the living area is defined by a strict perimeter band that separates it from the outside world.

At the ends of the space, two opposing geometric focal points are found: the fireplace, located right at the entrance, which sets a welcoming tone from the start, and the bar, situated near the dining table, serving as a melting pot for social interaction. The kitchen and dining area communicate through a large glazed wall, encouraging cooking together—a ritual that brings people together.

The design of all spaces unites decorative elements with a cohesive language, a unified color palette, and an "architectural thread" that ties everything together, represented by black detailing on the baseboards, door frames, and handles, the black band adorning the walls, and the lighting fixtures.

In a society that increasingly values time spent with loved ones, this apartment proves to be a true sanctuary of relaxation and conviviality, ready to offer an unforgettable experience for all its guests.

In a world where unmediated human interaction is becoming rarer, the design solutions aim to create a place where people feel welcomed and directly connected.
