Apartment With A Retractable Interior Wall

This clever example of interior layout, by the team at Fertility Design, experiments with the
introduction of retractable glass doors within the heart of a home, to divide off rooms for quiet
and privacy at certain times of the day, whilst still providing the opportunity of creating a free
flowing open plan space when desired.


The sliding doors in this example provide a barrier around the home office area for
times when total concentration is needed away from the hubbub of the rest of the family home.




The home library is also situated within the glass encasement area, to allow a place
of peace for study. On the flip side, a large whiteboard has been hung opposite the
bookshelves that doubles as a kids activity wall, this suggests that at times the glazed
panels are pulled across to contain the noise within the central glass box rather than
to keep it out!



By maintaining a continuous color palette of browns and creams throughout the scheme,
each zone melts seamlessly into the next once the glazed doors are drawn back; the same
wood flooring has also been installed from edge to edge of this dwelling to further blur
the boundaries.
