An older building doesn't mean that it can't also be modern, particularly in the kitchen.

Villarroel Apartment is a minimal residence located in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Raúl Sánchez Architects. From its current state, an unattractive distribution and complete lack of functionality, the project picks up from what the client explains is his way of life to create a completely renovated interior. Starting from the building’s construction and structural constraints in which the apartment is inserted, based on load-bearing walls with a clear and defined bay structure, the project proposes three large program blocks: a first access-related block, where the entrance, the guest bathroom (from which you access the laundry room) and the guest bedroom are located; a second block housing the master bedroom and the adjoining walk-in closet and bathroom; and a third block that is a single large space where we find the kitchen, the dining room and the living room, and which, in turn, acts as a swivel joint between the two other blocks.
