Who says that four walls do not fit entire galaxies at warkingdoms of fire and ice, posthistoric societies and various meta worlds?
That is how Egue & Seta describe the key to this project in which designers have had to display all his “superpowers” to take advantage of this 51.60 m2 apartment in Terrassa in Barcelona. A mini flat owned by a couple who lived and teleworked intensely during confinement. After passing this hard test in which they verified the shortcomings of their flat, they trusted its total reform to the designers Egue & Seta so that they would do the impossible: take meters from where there are none, because in this case, size does matter.
And although stretching the meters does not seem possible; the designers set out compensate for the lack of centimeters with ingenuity, good humor and attention to detail.
The small space, with low ceilings and little natural light, should also contain the many collections of the Super Hero universe, of the owners. Quite a decorative challenge that they have more than overcome with several “decorative tricks”. The most remarkable, the custom design of the wall that separates the stay open entrance kitchens / dining room and living room of the bedroom en suite. A wall that serves as a headboard, shelf, door, window, curtain, blind, screen and lamp at the same timeand that is also beautiful and practical, decorative and essential, extroverted and intimate at the same time.
The kitchen, dining room and living room
The entrance, the kitchen, the dining room and the living room share a single space with an elongated floor plan and also share a large window as the only source of natural light. On the other side is the entrance to a small clothesline.
The elongated plant has been used to place cabinets and shelves on the elongated sides. Aside, the black shelf wall play with a dynamic design with open and semi-closed holes. This wall / shelf has been used to discreetly place the television, to store various collections of comics from the owners and even to “hide” the access door to the bedroom and bathroom.
On the other side, the walland tall kitchen cabinets located in front of the entrance it extends to behind the sofa, and on this side of the living room it is transformed into an open showcase to continue “showing off” the collections.
This piece of furniture mixes oak wood with a white finish, which provides light and warmth while generating a great contrast between the two opposing planes.
Despite the small size of the apartment, the kitchen has a generous kitchen island that extends to serve as a high table to eat.
For avoid lowering the roof, something that would visually subtract space from the room, the traditional built-in spotlights have been replaced by rails with spotlights which has the same result without affecting the volume.
The portrait space It is used to the maximum with the shelves after the hood.
The en-suite bedroom with bathroom with double sink and with space for teleworking
Behind the magic wall that hides the bedroom doorthe black wall becomes an elegant bespoke headboarda, with a shelf and wall lamps on each side that replace the classic bedside tables and allow you to enjoy a large bed.
Facing the bed, a side by side cabinet also contains a space for teleworking
An elegant dark blue lacquer has been chosen for the cabinets and the oak finish for the shelf that serves as a desk.
On one side of the room is the spectacular hidden bathroom with impressive black metal carpentry and embossed glass.
In the center behind the doors are double sinks and on each side of these hide behind new doors, a generous shower and a suspended toilet.
