Estantes
Two systems of organising spaces were used to maintain some difference between the large living rooms and the smaller bedrooms. The first, used in the open-plan spaces, is a series of very large estantes [cupboard units] used to separate different areas in the living room, study and master bedroom. The second is a sequence of cupboard / bathroom / balcony which gives each bedroom a secure outdoor space.
