Excerpt: Laundry Ansiao by Bruno Dias Arquitectura is an interior design project that aims to create separation between areas to ensure a better-quality service. The objective is accomplished with a slatted wood structure, which divides the different areas while also letting natural light in, as it is a permeable element that is not completely closed or opaque. The primary goal is to separate the public and private spaces.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] This project takes shape in the center of the village, in a place already known for its laundry services. A hall, which was previously non-existent, was built into the pre-existing space.
The main idea is to separate the working and storage area, where employees spend most of their time, from the private area, and the entrance hall, the public space where customers are welcomed. This separation between areas ensures a better-quality service, as customers immediately feel welcomed, and employees have a more reserved working area.
The objective is accomplished with a slatted wood structure, which divides the different areas whilst also letting natural light in, as it is a permeable element that is not completely closed or opaque.
The floor plan for this space is quite simple: a waiting area and a reception desk. Nevertheless, by using wood – the main element – the space becomes lighter and more luminous, thanks to this material which creates an immediate feeling of well-being.
