Here's some more information from Guise:
PROJECT BRIEF
The assignment was to redesign an apartment of 45 m² from 1900 on Jungfrugatan in an exclusive area in central Stockholm.

The client's request was to create storage space as well as giving the apartment a unique identity.

CONCEPT
The main concept is based on breaking up the traditional sequence of rooms and functions to become a nonlinear and nonhierarchical arrangement of space.
![Corner project by Guise Corner project by Guise](https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2011/02/dzn_Corner-project-by-Guise-9.jpg)
The previously strict spatial segregation, with kitchen, living room and bedrooms have been broken up by introducing a forest of columns that define the rooms.
![Corner project by Guise Corner project by Guise](https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2011/02/dzn_Corner-project-by-Guise-10.jpg)
Since the apartment has no walls in the traditional sense, the spatiality is created by the pillars relationship to each other rather than by clear physical boundaries.

PLANNING
The apartment is inscribed in a square of around 45 square meters. The entrance door is located in one corner of the plan, facing one of the apartment's two windows.

The previous plan had a wall that strict shared the apartment in the kitchen and living area. A small alcove was positioned close to the bedroom.

All the existing walls were torn down and replaced with a forest of columns that separates the rooms from each other.

Even the bathroom walls have been torn down, the toilet is housed in one of the columns, providing necessary privacy.

Also the WC-pillar is freely positioned and is thereby able to be, like all other columns, walk around.
