Let’s climb the stairs and take a look in to this redefined super-attic: a former storage room turned into family-hub.
This Poble Nou apartment home is a paradigmatic case of the urban and real state transformation that has been sweeping over the city and especially through this neighbourhood in the recent past. The industrial buildings and warehouses at Poble Nou offer “open plan” possibilities, natural light and ventilation in a spot that, as the city grows, is progressively becoming ever so centric.
B., R. and their only son, wanted to open up their home onto a superb terrace with magnificent urban views while welcoming us to their private family refuge recently renovated under a pleasing mixture of Scandinavian and Mediterranean style.
A housing unit that due to Barcelona´s rising rental apartment demand was divided, as it happens with theatre plays, in three acts. Located in the very heart of Poblenou it manages to reflect the neighbourhood’s industrial character while sequentially unfolding its spaces in a narrative manner.
Whether you like it or not, Barcelona, for many non-locals, is also, a beach. A beach bathing the shores of an open-air museum, a coast line bursting with tapas bars and the seafront of a real city with its very own customs and history. But always, even more so during the summer, a beach.
This flat in Barcelona’s Eixample neighbourhood can get accommodate up to ten without requiring a single sleeping bag; other ten can eat at a time, and if we´re talking about mere snacks and humorous chat ….
Two patios of colourful single-person hammocks separated by a two-storey height grandstand under a vegetable curtain are faced with a set of circular wall-hung loungers and “face to face” double bicycles with a table (picture sharing a tandem bike in “missionary position” while having vegan tapas).
The Furnished Void is a warm and bright apartment completed in 2016 by Spanish studio Egue y Seta. The apartment, designed for a young family, has an area of 70 square meters and is located in Barcelona’s Eixample district.
