Teresa's House: Renovation Project of an Apartment in Hostafrancs, Sants Neighborhood of Barcelona
The apartment, located on the main axis crossing the neighborhood, is housed within a typical Modernist building from the early 1900s, featuring very high ceilings and doors, and includes a patio at the rear of the building.
The new owner of the apartment, Teresa, commissioned us to undertake a complete reconfiguration of the interior space, which was highly compartmentalized with dark rooms and low false ceilings. The aim was to transform the space into bright and functional environments.
The interior renovation could only be carried out after the structural consolidation of various elements of the property, including the lower and upper slabs of the apartment, which had significant safety issues for the occupants. Additionally, part of the upper slab had already been reinforced by previous owners with a solution that did not fully convince us, as it created a change in ceiling height, presenting some design challenges.
Moreover, executing these interventions in a building listed by the city council delayed the renovation process, which fortunately did not disappoint our young client.
The interior layout has been completely redesigned to create a large day area with an integrated kitchen, open towards the private patio, and a night area facing the main street. Two bathrooms have been created, one of which primarily serves house guests, especially when the outdoor patio becomes the main space of the apartment during the summer.
The dining area was created in the intermediate space between the kitchen and the exterior, interposing itself between the two and connecting them through a large window that reaches up to the ceiling, also allowing access to the outdoor patio.
The design and chosen color palette contribute to a sense of peaceful calm in the environments. According to our client's wishes, significant structural elements have been highlighted through the use of color, accentuating the relationship between the pre-existing elements and the new structure, especially in rooms where the contrast between the Catalan vaulted ceiling and the new green-painted beams draws attention.
The discontinuity in ceiling height was utilized to emphasize the different intended uses of the rooms while maintaining spatial unity. The main lighting in the kitchen area takes advantage of this discontinuity to mark the functional distinction.
The overall appearance of the apartment after the renovation is contemporary while still retaining the charm of the Modernist apartment with high ceilings and the typical brick vaults of Catalan Modernism
