LIBERTY STUDENT HOUSE

How can we transform an old hotel into a cheerful student residence simply by playing with color?

​

Let's take some letters. Large, three-dimensional, comfortable ones. We transform them into colorful seats and use them to spell out the word LIBERTY, so that students can sit freely, experiencing the name as a true symbol of freedom.

​

Let's play with colors within the same room intended for two different students: one half in one color, the other in another. Let's color everything that belongs in its own space: walls, floors, furniture, curtains, ornaments, stucco...

We express the concept of cold and heat in the cooking area around refrigerators and ovens by displaying the word HOT, with letters wrapped in conductive copper wire, and the word COLD, with a crystallized cold sky blue color.

We differentiate the corridors, the various windows protruding from the external façade, the entrance doors, and the rooms with different colors, each painted in different colors divided by floor, creating a chromatic orientation experience.

We demystify the austere reception area with busts of Latin cultural figures that explode with bright fluorescent colors.

We transform the fountain on the outdoor terrace so that it appears to gush water incessantly onto a floor appropriately colored blue.
