An Experimental Transforming House by PKMN architectures

A small, one-story house in North Madrid becomes a totally custom-made experiment by PKMN architectures for a woman named Yolanda. The home once belonged to her grandmother, and now Yolanda has moved back into a house where nothing stands still and things change, just like people and our needs.

Take a look:

Each of the custom structures moves, as needed, throughout the day – the bed disappears after she wakes up. After coffee in the kitchen, things move to reveal the shower.

For a mid-morning appointment, a casual sitting area with a display of books is featured.

A large dining table folds down so she can entertain guests.

The pods can be pushed together or separated, depending on her needs, each on a simple industrial railing system. On the ends of each is a bookshelf for extra storage space.

The three separate pods allow for a multitude of uses where normally these functions would be placed in different rooms. Now, everything is housed in conveniently moving sections.
