G. Apartment

Santiago, Chile

The design of Apartment G. was developed based on the owner’s two occupations: screenwriting and painting. Keeping this in mind, we worked with a neutral color palette that was predominantly earthtones, beige, and light hues, in order to put together a warm and welcoming atmosphere where one could live as well as work.

Given that reading and manual labor have a prominent place in this home, spaces were devised in accordance to these activities. The living and dining area is encompassed by bookshelves. The dining room was thought up as a dual space where writing would also take place. Meanwhile, the design concept of the living room was to create a space that was, above all, comfortable, ideal for socializing as well as relaxing, watching films, and reading. As far as painting is concerned, we created a practical, easy to clean, and well illuminated workshop-like space, which could be stained and spattered, and where materials could be unfurled.

El diseño del departamento G. se pensó en función de los dos oficios de su dueña: guionista y pintora. Con esto en mente, se trabajó con una paleta de colores neutra, donde predominan los tonos tierra, beige y tonos claros para armar una atmósfera cálida y acogedora, donde se pudiera vivir y trabajar a la vez.

Como la lectura y la labor manual tienen un lugar preponderante en este hogar, se idearon espacios acordes a estas actividades. El sector del living y comedor se rodeó con estanterías con libros. El comedor se pensó dual, para ser utilizado también como espacio para la escritura. Mientras que el living se diseñó bajo el concepto de generar un ambiente sobre todo cómodo, ideal tanto para compartir y distenderse, como para ver películas y leer. Para desarrollar la pintura, se creó un espacio tipo taller que fuera práctico, de fácil limpieza y con buena luz, donde poder desplegar materiales, manchar y ensuciar.
