AM Apartment

Built across two levels and spanning approximately 675 m2, the main objective of this penthouse is to provide ample space to accommodate all family members and cater to their individual activities and interests.

 

Leveraging the division between the social area (second level) and the residential area (first level), the AM apartment combines various uses, creating both intimate spaces and gathering areas. Places like the family room, kitchen, or terrace aim to allow residents to come together and enjoy both the apartment’s interior and the spectacular surrounding environment.

The stairs

In the original layout of this penthouse, the staircase connecting both levels had a functional approach and was anchored to a closed rear wall. In collaboration with the clients, it was decided that the staircase should convey a sense of floating or lightness, and additionally, it should allow the eastern hills, which are part of the apartment’s context, to be visible from the first level.

 

Through very meticulous structural work, it was possible to release the structural support from the wall, allowing the staircase to be anchored at two points on the slab and thus float it in the void connecting both levels.
