Agha Ehsan’s flat is a suite with an area of 95 square meters. The design of this project started for a young couple. We usually have privacy and separation in our living space that we don’t need this kind of privacy in most hours of the day. The privacy we consider between the shower space, wash basin and sleeping space or the privacy we create by creating a closet in the room. In our living environment, we usually find ourselves in two situations, sometimes we don’t need privacy and separation of spaces, and at the same time, the constant removal of these separations causes us problems in the long term. So we need spaces that are flexible and we can change them according to our needs. In the concept of this project, a partition was created that can be changed, allowing the young couple to enjoy a unified apartment without space dividers on a daily basis, as well as allowing them to have privacy and separate spaces during the party.
The main idea in spatial separation in this suite is the possibility of merging and separating public and private spaces according to the needs of the young couple. The main element in meeting this need is a wooden rail door in the middle of the project. This separator allows the separation of public and private space and at the same time provides the possibility to integrate public and private space as needed. This door can be hidden behind its side walls and does not have a visual impact on the space when it is open and does not take up extra space. Hiding this door was not the goal of the design team, the main goal is to expand the spaces of the project so that the spaces can accept different functions at different times. After designing this door as the main separator in the middle of the project, in order to achieve the maximum useful space in the suite, all the doors were designed as rails to occupy less space and allow all spaces to be integrated together.
