Living alone in a studio apartment during a pandemic has proven to be a challenge. My movements are restricted to the never ending cycle of Bed – Table – Kitchen – Bathroom – Bed. And with no furniture other than an inflatable mattress and a foldable outdoor table, the apartment seems awfully empty, adding to the already overwhelming feeling of solitude these times have brought.

To combat that, I used my bored architecture student skills to design one piece of mega furniture to activate and reanimate my space of confinement, and turn my quarantine into a more pleasant experience. The new furniture separates the space into smaller nests, where I can “escape” to when boredom gets the best of me. It also frames the view from my apartment’s only window, giving it the emphasis it deserves as my last remaining bridge to the outside world.
