Industrial Loft in downtown Barcelona

loft-design-livingroom-barcelona

Located on the ground floor of a building in the center of Barcelona, a 1930 warehouse, with an area of 800 sq. meters on two floors, has been renovated as an industrial loft space with a rustic New York flare. During the years, the original space has been changed from a bombing shelter to the stables of an estate, as well as a printing workshop.

The project was carried out by Benito Escat, Alberto Rovira, and Minim. The budget was tight and they were asked to recycle as many elements of both the structure and the original furnishings, accessories and art pieces of the owner, in order to create a true living space/studio loft: a unique open space that had a very industrial interior design style.

Edmonds Residence: Divide and Conquer

One of the things I like about this beautiful home is its smart planning and usable layout. Let’s face it, if a house is not planned correctly and according to your specific needs and lifestyle, then the space in which you live in would probably make your daily life uncomfortable and frustrating. So what makes this house different? A simple yet effective planning where the stair hall becomes the spine of the building and a valuable source of light. Continue reading

Decorating Ideas: Books On Stage

decorating-ideas-books

I love books. It is my one weakness! as Dorcas says… A book can take you to magical places you’ve never been before; it has the power to encourage you to contemplate and reflect; books are all that and more.
