This beautiful early 20th century apartment features a bright and airy transformation by interiors firm Roura Studio, located in Barcelona, Spain. The homeowners areย Martรญn and Marรญa owners of Livin’itย Barcelona,ย a company that specializes in giving a second life toย unique homes. The renovation not only sought to restore the essence of the apartment, but also to revalueย the beauty of theย original architectural elementsย with contemporary solutions and designs.

The homeowners gave complete creative freedom to the designer, while also contributing their ideas throughout the renovation process. The small apartment wasย in very bad condition and the project was complex.ย The homeowners wished to create a diaphanous space withย differentย environments.ย Contrary to interventions that hide the beauty of the original materials or the uniqueness of traditional architectural solutions, the distribution was not affected.

Glass partitionsย were installedย that offer visual communication and allow natural light to flow through the interior spaces.ย The glazed enclosures, designed by Roura, with black iron profiles, were key in the interior design project. “By having only a small balcony, we inventedย a veranda and a large windowย visible from the entire floor,” states the designer, who loves to use plants to give life to spaces.

The vaulted ceiling, exposed brick walls and window frames were restored;ย the facilities were conditioned, the pine flooring was replaced by polished concrete and the smooth fronts were painted white, except in the work corner, where black slate paint was chosen.ย The decoration, with well chosen piecesโ€”some of them, design iconsโ€”created the finishing touch.

What We Love: This small apartment renovation offers a fluid distribution between interior living spaces. Low-height furnishings are used to delineate the living and dining room, while effectively creating a visual flow between the spaces. We love how these design decisions have helped to keep this compact living environment feeling open and spacious.ย The white painted exposed brick walls and high ceilings helps keep the interiors feeling light and airy.
