From the Architect: “This project presents the refurbishment of a house located in the historic center of Vilanova, a town near Barcelona. It is a three-story apartment of small dimensions and a triangular shape that consists of two habitable floors and a terrace floor. The objective was to provide balanced spaces on the triangular floor plan and capture the light through the terrace to the darkest spaces.

With such strange dimensions, the idea was to simplify the spaces as much as possible. We converted the ground floor into a large room with all services placed on the perimeter to give the maximum feeling of spaciousness. On the second floor we designed the bedrooms, each with its own window. On the top floor we have the terrace which also acts as a skylight that sends natural light to all the floors of the house through the staircase.

The pavement throughout the house is a marble floor recovered from its original state. To contrast the coldness of the marble, the chosen furniture is made of wood and the objects and details are in earth tones.”
