Mexico City small apartment twists with affordable OSB wood
When Carlos Ortega returned to Mexico after 8 years in Paris, he found "things were starting to happen" in the country #39;s capital. After working for Givenchy for 6 collections, in addition to collaborating with Vuitton, Chanel, Herms, he decided to launch his own fashion line. He chose Mexico City #39;s Polanca district where rents are high so in order to keep costs low he settled on a small apartment by Mexican standards. In order to divide the 65-square-meter (600 square feet) space into public and private spaces he hired ROW architects to create something affordable yet with a sense of style. Architect Alfonso Maldonado and his partners chose an engineered wood- OSB (oriented strand board) panels- in order to carve the rented space to Ortega #39;s tastes. One long, diagonal OSB wall divides the entire apartment, separating the private- bedroom, bathroom and closet- from the public- living room/showroom. The wall twists both to carve out nooks - like a tiny desk/tv space in the bedroom or a bookshelf for Ortega #39;s extensive collection. The warped walls are also a very easy way to grow a small space.
