Year 2023

In a building from the year 1900 in the heart of Madrid, with an eastern orientation, this project is located.

 

The goal of this renovation was to create a ready-to-live-in space, a timeless environment where a one-bedroom apartment becomes the ideal place to enjoy a few days in the city and take advantage of the privileged views. The concept and layout of the project revolve around social spaces that are shielded from the sun and a spacious main bedroom that connects with the city through two large windows overlooking Barceló Square and the rooftops of the Museum of History.

 

The challenge of the project was to organize the spaces in a very limited and non-orthogonal context. Once the ideal layout was achieved, we focused on the interior design, which, through a specific color palette, aims to create a comfortable atmosphere where colors, furniture, and carpentry harmoniously dialogue within the historical context of the building.

The View

In the center of a city like Madrid, finding spaces with good ventilation and some view is not common.

 

In this project, we were lucky to find a high-rise apartment that had a privileged view over Barceló Square. This allowed us to make the most of this condition, where unlike a conventional apartment where the living room would be privileged, here we decided to bring those social spaces indoors and leave the master bedroom with this connection to the city.

 

The result is an apartment that takes advantage of a vibrant context with an unbeatable view over the master bedroom and enhances this space, being an important differentiator.
