Individual Design of a Double-Floor Apartment in Madrid - A Sweet Treat for the Eyes

Pinterest

After a comprehensive renovation, this home perfectly suits the needs of its owners, a father and his son, who were looking for a shared home while maintaining sufficient independence in their personal spaces or private zones.

To achieve this goal, the studio designed a space that can be opened or closed to connect all common areas and even integrate some private zones depending on the daily needs of the owners.

First Floor for the Father and Common Areas

The layout of the house meets this special need. On the first floor are more spacious common areas – living room, kitchen and dining room – as well as the main bedroom and two other bedrooms (one secondary and one guest).

Upper Floor for Access to Terraces, Bedroom and Small Kitchen for Son

At the top is the open apartment of the son with his common areas and adjacent terraces. For this floor, I developed an exceptional sliding door system that plays with space and volume. One door hides a small kitchen, others – the bedroom and bathroom, depending on each moment's needs. A system that, beyond providing spatial flexibility, brings warmth and nobility of wood into the home.

Two Very Connected Projects

The two floors of the apartment are connected by a central opening that significantly raises the ceiling in the living room, where there is also a new projecting staircase aiming to be as light as possible to emphasize the fluidity between spaces and a holistic perception of the home.

In addition to its unique spatial arrangement, if this floor stands out for one thing, it's the use of two unique materials throughout the house; oak and black marble. Oak wood is used for all walls, floors, wooden fixtures, and even in the custom-made furniture (wardrobes, tables, sofas...) included in the home. Because in this project all its elements, except plumbing and taps, were specially designed, always based on the premise of wood and stone. Even in home furniture such as chairs, stools or tables, oak wood was chosen for its finish.

This material duality, together with white walls, glass and mirrors, defines each space and element, from the large central sink in the kitchen to the interiors of various bathrooms and toilets. In turn, adherence to these two elements brings calmness and fluidity into the home where there are no surprises or decorative excesses.
