Apartment number plaques for En Paralelo Estudio

The project

Residencia Comunitaria Benimaclet in Valencia is an interior design project involving the complete refurbishment of 600 m² to accommodate 15 apartments. En Paralelo Estudio commissioned Archicercle to design and manufacture the number plaques for the space.

The design brings the rectangular outline and the numbers together in a single piece. The numerals are formed by openings cut into the black surface, rather than by characters applied to it.

We manufactured the plaques from 3 mm black acrylic. Laser cutting was used both to define the outer perimeter and to cut the numbers within each piece.

The plaques became part of the residence, identifying the apartments. The different numbers share a consistent format: a rectangular black surface with each numeral defined by the cut-out itself.
