Benet Mateu, Barcelona
Apartment Refurbishment
Renovation in the Sarriá neighborhood in Barcelona. Converting a cold-style apartment into a cozy, bright and comfortable space for a family.
The apartment is divided into the night area and the day area, connected through a dark hallway.
The existing kitchen was closed, dark and lacking some character.
A structural beam allowed to open up the kitchen to the dining and living areas, as well as opening it to the hallway, creating a continuous space filled with natural light, with a new kitchen as the main feature. New appliances together with a more classical look in the kitchen make it practical as well as cozy.
The existing chimney was restored, a new piece of built-in furniture was built and the whole set has been painted in a light blue.
Modern materials and uses combine with more classic touches that remind the history of the flat.
