Small Architectures is an interior fit-out of a 1,200-square-foot apartment in Hollywood. Working within the fixed parameters of the base building—structural columns, plumbing lines, and HVAC— a series of discrete objects are inserted to choreograph the space. These interventions, derived from elemental fragments such as walls, columns, and surfaces, are articulated as independent from the apartment container. Neither object, furniture, nor architecture, they occupy an indeterminate scale between categories.

The project plays with both scale and scalelessness through varied material expressions. In the kitchen, a large sculptural island is clad in graphic marble with oversized clasts, obscuring a clear reading of its proportion.
In the living room, an L-shaped object frames a built-in sofa on one side and an art wall on the other, concealing pocket doors to close off a guest room. Along the apartment’s length, a large balcony connects living and sleeping areas; its terracotta tile extends indoors from the exterior, creating continuity between rooms, and between the city and the life within.

Rather than relying on a single gesture, the design animates the apartment through a multiplicity of objects, enabling evolving occupations and relationships between the temporary and permanent elements of daily life.
