Text description provided by architect.
This reform, made in a 70 m2 apartment in the Gracia neighborhood of Barcelona, revolves around a central gero bricks wall that is the frame of all the inside space elements.
This wall, which in turn divides the apartment into two clearly different living atmospheres, day and night, has three large openings, that create visual relationships and the path between the different parts of the program.
The translucent glass doors glide along the wall creating transparency sets not only between the different spaces but also with the wall itself.
The bathroom is no longer understood as closed in itself but as a space on the move which flows and can already be spotted from the dwelling access. The kitchen is in charge of articulating the whole access area and turns into a functional furniture.
This furniture is characterized by the volume suspended from the ceiling and contains all the essential cooking elements. The citric yellow creates, as the customer desired, a cold, almost icy atmosphere.The concrete floor amber-tinted provides its warmth to the place.
