CHALLENGE: Many developers of loft apartments in major cities address limitations of space by featuring a fully-open floor-plan, promoting   uninhibited flow of traffic throughout the space, and creating the appearance of spaciousness. However, this is often at the expense of privacy for the loft owner, as the bedroom is unsecured and open to the prying eyes of visitors. Additionally, sufficient storage space is sacrificed, and there is seldom an appropriate place to place the television.

SOLUTION: The solution is PORTIKOS - a fully configurable, mobile storage partition. PORTIKOS is composed of two individually articulating panels that glide past each other, enabling it to be configured in several ways by the loft owner.

The main panel acts as the storage partition, enabling the placement of books, DVDs, electronic candles, or other items in the organic honeycomb space. A flat panel plasma or LCD up to 60 inches can be installed on the main partition's pivot, enabling the loft owner to watch television in the living room, or in the privacy of the bedroom, with the simple twist of the pivot. The integrated picture frames on both sides enable personalization of PORTIKOS to the loft owner's preferences.

The secondary panel acts as a spanning privacy screen, allowing soft, diffused light to filter from the surrounding windows.

When not in use, PORTIKOS can glide out of the way, allowing for the original, open floor-plan. Or, PORTIKOS can span the entire opening, enabling the bedroom to be fully closed off for privacy.
