01;1 | Functional Border
A space with adaptable perimeters
A space encompassed by greenery that holds an inherent relationship with the outdoors. Elemental infrastructure trails the room’s perimeters, is open to interpretation and facilitates flexible application of space by its dwellers. This singular and continuous element alternates throughout the day and is easily substituted to become a working space - a bed - or dining space.
