Topo’s Shed

“in madrid, spanish architect pía mendaro has designed a home/studio for her friend, artist clara cebrian. named ‘topo’s shed’, the space is a converted warehouse that measures 10 meters by 10 meters (33 x 33ft). ‘clara is an artist and does not like overly designed things,’ explains mendaro. ‘she wanted something ‘like ron weasley’s house’; something that could adapt to the needs that appear over time.’ consequently, the project was designed to be as flexible as possible — serving as a ‘basis for life to happen’.

the focal point of the interior is the elevated bed, which mendaro designed alongside manuel ocaña. capable of supporting up to five people, the lightweight, suspended platform is accessed via a separate structure — a movable device reminiscent of airplane step ladders. as well as freeing up valuable floor space for cebrian’s work, the raised sleeping accommodation also provides external views and access to an outdoor space — an element of the design that the architect believes is necessary for mental health.”
