- The proposal searches the balance between placing the maximum number of rooms on the ground floor yet keeping the garden free from masonry work volumes. This idea is developed through a volumetric composition shaped in three boxes spread throughout the garden, almost aligned and located in the plot northern side creating a wide outer zone facing south. The first box, to the east, houses the children’s area with three single bedrooms upstairs and a playroom on the ground floor. The second one, in the centre, accommodates the main room: the kitchen, a nearly 30square metre and 4metre high room dominated by a large fireplace. The third box, to the west, contains the parents’ zone, with the bedroom at the garden level and a high ceiling studio on the first floor.

With only 860 square feet to work with, designer Barasona has designed this apartment with an open floor plan that is beautifully integrates bedroom, bathroom and living in the one space. Perhaps the main focal point of this flat is the huge bedroom and bathroom suite that features super sky high ceilings and large windows for natural light to flood in. The oversized bed is suspended from reclaimed wood pallets that really stand out against all of the other natural materials; yet it’s all still cohesive. Wood shutters mixed with natural stone and a frameless glass shower all come together to create a seamless project in the beautiful historic city of Barcelona.
