Charming attic gets transformed into an urban treasure in Madrid

Charming Attic Space-01-1 Kindesign

Spanish architecture studioย Espacio Acorde was responsible for the renovation of this charmingย attic space located in the heart of Madrid, Spain. Thisย urban treasureย revealed severalย wonderful surprises while working on restoring it to its former glory. This included a charming terrace, a wood beamed ceiling and an area with a sloping roof. The original terrace had been covered twenty years ago, which resulted inย the rooms attached to itย being void of natural light andย ventilation.

Whenย the walls and roof of the terrace were torn down, the homeย revealed its enormous decorative potential. The rooms, once dark and suffocating, became a transparentย space consisting of aย living, diningย andย kitchen area. Now, the living spaces are luminous, while the windows can be opened for fresh air to circulate throughout. Exposedย brick on theย interior adds industrial influences to the space.

To guarantee energy efficiency, the architects used lacquered aluminum doors and venetian blinds with adjustable slats which, when closed, maintain optimum sealing. Another pleasant surprise the architects discovered was when they removed the false ceiling. They found a brilliant array of wooden beams, which in addition to the aesthetics, helped to raise the ceiling heightย significantly.

Since they had been neglected for so long, they had to be stained and reinforced in certain areas to ensure structural safety. The material selection was another great achievement to the overall look of this impressive attic space. The owners wished to have an industrial style dwelling, so the architects added influences without being overdone.

What We Love: This charming attic offers its inhabitants cozy living spaces both indoors and out. We love how the renovation offers a brand new, sunny terrace space to enjoy a breath of fresh air. The luminous living spaces are no longer dark and dingy and are now open and spacious. The industrial influences of the exposed beams and brick adds character to this home, adding to its overall aesthetics.

Readers, please share with us your thoughts on this renovation project. Are there any features that stand out to you?

Above: In the kitchen, the flooring and the base of the breakfast bar are comprised ofย Virocโ€”a material usually used outside. It combinesย the flexibility of wood with the look and texture of poured concrete. However, in this case it was used to enhance the industrial air of the house.

Slate was installed on the backsplash. Its black finish emphasizes the immaculate furniture and visually delimits the space of the kitchen. In addition, the blackboard harmonizes well with the appliances and the baseboard, all of stainless steel.
