  The intervention consists of the insertion of a large linear equipment that can completely transform the transition between the spaces, with color panels and moving furniture allowing the integration of all spaces. In addition, the multifunctional shelf works also as the infrastructure to the extent that serves as support for technical installations – electrical, data, illumination, and hydraulic.
