The Bruc Apartment by Cometa Architects is a 250m² property in the heart of Barcelona that balances natural light with deep, intimate shadows. This project marks a bold reimagination of an early 20th‑century Modernista apartment while respecting its rich heritage.
Apartment in Paseo San Juan tucked within a 19th-century modernist building on Barcelona’s vibrant boulevard, YLAB Arquitectos has transformed a neglected flat into a luminous, highly functional home. Moreover, by preserving its protected heritage features—most notably the original Nolla mosaic floors and ornate ceilings—the design seamlessly merges historical charm with today’s lifestyle needs.
The spacious and large apartment is located in a noble estate from the end of the 19th century, and enjoys a privileged position facing both Girona street and a large interior courtyard typical of the Barcelona ‘eixample’
La Ximena apartment is a ground floor dwelling deformed by the position of the building’s vertical core. This irregularity is translated into an obvious division of the whole into two sub-spaces –one at the façade and one at the inner courtyard– connected by a corridor
La Ramona was presented with an office configuration inside an extremely delicate and urbanistically catalogued building. In order to reclaim the construction’s essential features, partitions were demolished and the structural elements were stripped out.
The LoVt3 Apartment is located on the slopes of Montjuic in Barcelona. The closeness to Refugio 307, bomb shelter tunnels built to protect citizens during the Spanish civil war is not casual and appears to be an appropriate metaphor.
This project was an opportunity for us to demonstrate that, even in rehabilitation interventions, it is possible to successfully apply bioclimatic and passive architecture strategies using natural materials, without renouncing the beauty and contemporaneity of the architectural language.
The Napols apartment was transformed completely, from a previous segmented distribution with small cubicles, to a house with an open and idle concept.
CRÜ studio removed a series of walls that divided the long and narrow perimeter of their new project la Odette – la Olga’s younger twin.
