Sliding doors opens square metres in small student apartments

Aitiopaikka apartments were building in Turku student village with small 30-35 square metre apartments. Sliding doors were chosen to create openness and space for student's every day lives. In a big portion of the apartments with the bedroom separately, sliding doors were used between the living room and bedroom. Where a traditional hinge door would take floor space, a sliding door slides inconspicuously to the wall leaving the floor accessible.

“When I leave to go to university, I open the sliding door in my bedroom and leave it open. When I come home I get to enjoy the openness and lightness of the apartment for the rest of the day and I don’t really notice the doors existence. At night when I go to bed I like to close the sliding doors and in doing so make the bedroom a peaceful private space.” Tiia, student
