M&I Apartment

A family apartment has undergone an integral renovation to convert it into the ideal home for an empty nester couple. The design creates diagonal sight lines to maximise the spatial feeling and transform what was a relatively small and dark apartment into a generous home filled with light and colour.

The entrance, the kitchen and the living room are carefully combined in a single generous space. The removal of walls allows natural light to enter deep into the apartment. By working with distinctive pavements, each area holds its own character yet fits in perfectly with the rest.

An integral update to gain amplitude, light, and comfort.

A striking cupboard-wall organises the space. This robust and efficient L-shaped element encloses the two bathrooms in the centre of the apartment. Openings and niches lighten the volume, while the wooden front hides extra storage.

Direct morning sun rays deeply penetrate the bathroom through the cupboard’s strategically placed open niches. Filtered by the textured glass and coloured by the intense blue tiles, daylight provides a unique bathing experience. Stepping out of the shower, the contrast between the blue tiles and the sand-coloured floor echoes the nearby Mediterranean Sea.

“I first fell in love with his legs,” she said. And their home became a tribute to them.

The meticulous choice of colour, materials and furniture adds to the feeling of amplitude and warmth throughout the apartment. Two types of wood – oiled oak and light birch -, combine with deep green cement tiles. These warm materials are complemented by the calm beige kitchen and by a lush green wall. Meanwhile, the niches’ bright primary colours pierce the balance and add a welcome contrast.

A balanced composition that plays with matching colours and strong contrasts.
