Step 4 Building up a new little world !

This space is pretty much like a cube 5 x 6 x 4 (deep x large x high) m.

My desire was to make it like a factory : a moving bridge would enable to move massive objecs in this tiny space. The nature of the floor (above caves) revealed this project was impossible + the presence of such an industrial machine (costy as well) would ba a problem if htis space had to be rented in the future.

I immediatley saw that i need a floor to have a "clean" living space, as many of my activities are dusty or noisy. So the mezanine was a good solution, possible with 4m high ceiling but only possible with a thin and strong metallic strucutre.

I wanted the front of my appartment to be openable by it's half, like a theater scene (imagine a dance piece starting in an appartment just as soon as you open the door the entire space opens up to the street !), but i wasn't legaly allowed of such an important front change (paris urbanism law are strict on this point).
