Renovation of a 160 m2 apartment

The solution is simple but quite ingenious; a KLEIN LITE system supports three sliding wall panels that can divide or join the bathroom and hallway. This provides a circulation area during the day, with a smaller yet independent bathroom. This space, dedicated to personal well-being and care, can be multiplied during use by sliding the panels and thus integrating the entire hallway and the cabinets built into its lateral wall. The bedroom is transformed into a suite.

The youngest members of the family, two boys and one girl, enjoy two adjacent bedrooms, both quite bright. Each one has its own pivoting entrance door. Between the two doors, instead of a wall, there is a sliding six-panel partition guided by SLID TOP system.

This allows the two areas to be completely integrated or separated. Free of floor tracks to avoid barriers, and lightweight enough to move with ease, the open panels allow the entire space to be shared.

The kitchen, the heart of the home, also benefits from sliding applications, which allow for two entrances without losing out on functionality; hidden inside the partition, the first KLEIN SLID INTRA system goes to the entrance hall, and the second to the bedroom area.

“KLEIN® hardware facilitates our design process. It is very intuitive and precise, and offers designers maximum flexibility. It has been key to creating the desired space just as we planned,” explains Hanimal’s José Manuel Fiori.
