What used to be a floor of narrow and gloomy spaces is now a cozy and warm home, spacious and full of light natural. The Barcelona studio Arc Disseny has carried out the complete remodeling of this 80-square-meter flat with the aim of unifying environments and giving a feeling of spaciousness. The new distribution implied emptying everything, only maintaining the load-bearing walls and starting from scratch, with new partitions.
Now the house does not waste a single centimeter and has a kitchen open to living-dining room, two bedrooms, a dressing room and two bathrooms. The transit areas are white cabinets without handlesan aesthetically perfect storage solution.
A very well resolved day area
The new day zone leaves behind the small narrow old kitchen, which is reborn in a totally open and very functional space, open to the dining room and the living room. In this way, the natural light that enters through the large windows of the living room covers the entire daytime area of the house.
This area has been resolved as a whole, as a single space with well-differentiated areas. The absence of shooters in the kitchen furniture it emphasizes the feeling of continuity with the walls of the dining room, something that is also achieved thanks to the fact that the larger appliances are perfectly camouflaged behind the furniture panels. Day-to-day comfort has been a priority in this project. The kitchen has a small peninsula which, in addition to serving as a work surface, allows you to have breakfast or a drink. Despite its small size, three chairs have been placed, one for each member of the family unit.
To gain breadth, Arc Disseny has chosen to use sliding doors in all rooms. These types of doors allow space to be gained and visually contribute to enhancing the feeling of continuity with the walls.
As for the interior design, the main idea was to avoid weighing it down visually, so a soft color palette, neutral tones and warm materials that bring balance to the whole. In the living-dining room, the wooden tables are lightened with fine black iron structures.
Bright and comfortable rooms
The rooms follow the harmony of the rest of the house thanks to a soft color palette. The double room has a headboard upholstered in a gray fabric and an armchair for reading moments in a softer tone. Two black cylindrical pendant lights hang above the white nightstands.
This room has a private bathroom and a multifunctional dressing room that acts as an occasional office. The Children’s room, with a white base and fabrics in ecru and blue tones, has been resolved with custom-made furniture that makes the most of the space. It has a desk attached to the wall and a trundle bed.
Two very functional bathrooms with style
After the reform, the house includes two very functional and stylish bathrooms. One of them en suite with the main room. In both spaces we have opted for floating furniture under the sinks, as it enhances the feeling of lightness and spaciousness and facilitates storage, something essential in small bathrooms. On the other hand, the space allocated to the shower cabin has been calculated to be used to the maximum, in such a way that an area of great comfort has been achieved. The relief of some wall tiles has been highlighted with indirect led lighting, which gives a sensation of depth. In the courtesy bathroom, a round shape for mirrora current look that gives great dynamism and harmonizes with the countertop sink in black.
A radical change with a good distribution
Definitely, this apartment completely renovated by Arc Disseny is an example that with a good distribution it is possible to achieve a radical change in a house. It has been possible to get natural light into areas that were very dark and it has been possible to take advantage of every centimeter to gain amplitude. All this with an interior design that deepens in simplicity and that transmits serenity through a very natural style decoration. What do you think of the result?
