everything can be seen and observed in one glance at bureau A’s ‘geneva apartment’. conceived as a place for intimacy, voyeuristic features lighten the mood and natural light floods throughout the deep layout. an important interior window connects the various façades of the apartment, linking the bedroom with kitchen and living room.

inspired by the extramarital escapes of hollywood’s golden era, the apartment can be interpreted as a stage with larger purpose than its domesticity. here, colors evoke activity, a sense of being elsewhere, and an escape from the grey winters of geneva, switzerland.
