Innovative Living: Unplanned Domestic Prototype in San Sebastián

In the picturesque city of San Sebastián, the Unplanned Domestic Prototype challenges traditional home layouts with a dynamic design that adapts to various needs. From transforming the living room into a bedroom for visiting children to creating a flexible space with movable furniture, this architectural gem offers a new perspective on modern living. The innovative use of a circular wall not only emphasizes space but also allows for seamless transitions between different activities, creating a truly versatile environment.

Architect Ismael Medina Manzano's vision for this project goes beyond mere aesthetics, focusing on practicality and functionality. By incorporating elements like mirrors to expand space and reflect light, as well as furniture on wheels for easy reconfiguration, the home becomes a canvas for endless possibilities. The integration of a custom-made wall table in the kitchen adds a touch of sophistication, while green metal beams evoke a sense of community within the living space.

The balcony, accessed through an accordion window, blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living, providing a seamless extension for daily activities. Meanwhile, the main bathroom offers a tranquil retreat with its camouflaged entrance and soothing blue tones. With a design philosophy centered around adaptability and evolution, Ismael's approach to architecture creates spaces that not only meet current needs but also anticipate future ways of living. By embracing change and flexibility, this project sets a new standard for contemporary living spaces.
