The apartment is located in Les Corts - a business andthe financial center of Barcelona. Despite such a modern significance, the area has a long history and is built up with quite old buildings. In particular, the reconstructed premises are located in a 19th century house. The owner Yuna is a Japanese woman who has long settled in Spain. However, she has not eradicated a tendency towards traditional Asian minimalism.
Initially, the apartment was built up in a haphazard mannerwalls, rooms, corridors. Therefore, the first step was to free up the entire area. Only the original massive beams on the ceiling and the bare walls made of ancient stone were left untouched.
The central detail of the project is a strict white cube, the walls of which do not reach the ceiling.
This architectural element separates the bedroom area, making it private. At the same time, it does not clutter the space.
The large balcony opening lets in plenty of natural light and also allows you to see the beautiful carpet-like floor pattern.
The bathroom is located in the box. Opposite the bathtub there is a window that looks directly into the bedroom.
The floor of the bathroom, bedroom and balcony is raised 30 cm relative to the level of the rest of the apartment.
The mirror built into the cube creates visual perspective and depth in the kitchen.
The materials chosen for finishing are environmentally friendly and correspond to the time of construction of the house. These are stone, wood, oak, pine beams and mosaics in the style of the era.
To make the atmosphere cozier, Yuna made a ladder for her cats, Tau and Misha. Now the roof of the box has become their favorite place to play.
The Sergi Pons project clearly shows howWith the help of one successful element, you can completely transform the interior. Here, such a find was a geometric cube. It simultaneously divided and organized the rather complex configuration of the elongated room.
