This is an apartment shared by a group of strangers - a landlady and two tenants. Responding to that, the design clustered the communal spaces in this apartment and inserted arches between them. By way of framing, arches are able to suggest both a separation and a connection, generating a more open-ended spatial condition. From each space, the inhabitants can sometimes move over and mingle or remain by themselves.
