One of the main strategies was the reconfiguration of the kitchen, which originally faced a laundry area lacking natural light or ventilation. Rather than adopting a conventional integration with the living room through a counter or island, the kitchen was repositioned as close as possible to the existing window in the service area, which has now been incorporated into the space. This new layout allowed the former laundry area to house support functions, such as a cleaning closet, utility sink, and refrigerator, all kept discreetly out of sight from the social area.
