If you want to create something new, you might find yourself starting out with a lot of old. The Castel has been in the family for 50 years now and in about 300 m² one finds a lot of space to store things. A. Lot.
Our first mission is cleaning. Clearing out the space, liberating the Castel from its transmissions, liberating ourselves in the process.

When I look at it, I see abundance. It appears that nature has a way of multiplying. Life is created by the multiplication of cells, the universe itself is expanding and thus space could be described as multiplying. In a very strange way, our daily stuff seems to manifold as well. Sure, not in the same manner than cells do, but it evokes the idea of natural abundance. How did we end up with all this stuff? We might ask ourselves. The answer is simple, we have a lot of stuff because that is how nature operates. To not have stuff, one needs to be actively destructive. Throw things out, destroy walls, ideas, dreams, let die. Because, that too is how nature creates. Cells die, leafs rot and decompose to nourish the soil.
Do we feel the cleaning process as nurturing? Yes, but most of all it feels liberating. Having space, new space for new ideas, new dreams and, well, new stuff of cause.
So here is the story of liberty, in pictures.

The ground floor will serve as an entrance. A place to leave your coats, bikes, stuff…
