This fabulous flat spotted on Nuevo Estilo is situated in the Malasaña, the cultural center of Madrid, Spain. This old apartment preserves the ingredients of the district where you will find an open plan design with a fun, alternative and retro atmosphere. The new organization retains elements of the past, such as hand-carved pillars or wooden shutters with two leaves, so typical of the traditional architecture. Spaces without doors are communicated through large openings that let in light and provide a feeling of spaciousness. The interior also breathes this nostalgic aura, although it has been lightened with a vibrant start-up scene full of light and modern solutions.

The owner, who works as artistic director of the recording studio Universal Music, was personally commissioned to find a style for the house that takes into consideration their love of art and music. “I wanted it to be comfortable, with antique office furniture that I love,” he explains. The owner wanted to provide a good setting for contemporary art. Artists such as Chillida and Richard Serra coexist with delicious vintage objects recovered from flea markets or donated by friends and family: “my brother bought me the map of Catalonia when I came to Madrid and my mother, the kitchen scale.” The Bohemian chic home is full of memories, warmth and ingenuity in furniture and recovered objects with achieves a uniqueness that sparks emotion.
