For my initial thinking about this mother and her kids in a small apartment together i wanted to use the space to it's fullest potential. In the mothers room i wanted to create a shifting experience. The mom's room will have a lot of clean crisp fold out furniture. Including tables, beds, and chairs. The room will constantly be shifting to fit Ana's needs, going along with that idea of "create your own oasis."
The kitchen, which has been expressed as the most important part of the space since Ana cooks and spends a lot of time in it, and her girls like to help her or watch her work, and vise versa. One of Ana's most prominent needs is good visibility and connection to her daughters while she is in the kitchen. So what i wanted to do to fit this need is was have the kitchen be located in the center of the common space within the apartment. The entire kitchen will be an open island and outside of it there will be wall to wall built in couches and mounted tv's for the girls to stay near their mother while she cooks.
