switch_sliding walls_yuko shibata

 

Enjoying the kinetic nature of this project by Yuko Shibati called "Switch".  Sliding and pivoting partitions make simple, elegant changes to this very basic room.  Bookshelf pivots to uncover the bed and wall partitions slide to create smaller functional spaces for dining or working.
