A “slow-burning” integral reform

One of the main conditioning factors of the flat is its location on the ground floor of the building, which means that less natural light enters and, therefore, it was necessary to think of the best resources to maximize it.

The first step was to lighten the original parquet. It was restored throughout the house, thus reducing the intensity of the oak wood. The next decision taken by Tinda's Project was to resort to a chromatic palette based on white (including the woodwork of the doors) and natural wood, far from the usual grey tones of their projects which, on this occasion, would not have helped in the search for more luminous spaces.

One of the rooms that have been notably improved is the entrance hall. On the one hand, aesthetically, it has been completely refurbished and equipped with the minimum furniture, a console table with a fine structure and a few decorative accessories. On the other hand, because of the brightness. It used to be dark but now with white walls and lighter floor, it looks different, highlighting the recommendable idea of the access door to the living room (on the right-hand side and sliding) with a glass part, which allows natural light to pass through.

The living room and dining room share the same space and it is the most comprehensive intervention that Tinda's Project has done in the flat, with everything completely new, except for the paintings that are the work of the owner and, although in pastel tones, provide the most striking touch to a predominantly serene and relaxing atmosphere of white and ecru colours.

In the living room, two L-shaped sofas make up the most comfortable part, around a glass coffee table that further increases the feeling of lightness and spaciousness. The upholstery of the sofas, the blinds, and the poufs have been made by Tinda's Project, in very light colours, like the carpet.

Special mention should be made of the television cabinet, made to measure by the studio, also in white and designed as a separating element concerning the dining room, although in a discreet lateral location that does not interfere with the passageway. On the main wall, there is a piece of furniture whose design is very much in keeping with Tinda's Project. Shaped like a capital 'i', it runs from floor to ceiling in white lacquer, all closed off for storage except for symmetrical decorative recesses in wood and glass.

The dining room for six diners has simple lines and the armchairs have been upholstered by the studio, as have the curtains. It is situated next to the other door that connects this space with the corridor and the other rooms in the flat, favouring a more direct flow, especially with the kitchen.

The kitchen was one of the first interventions carried out in the dwelling. It was reformed based on a more modern line, all in white, and combining it with the metal of the extractor hood, the handles, and some electrical appliances, and introducing some glass furniture.

The bathroom in the suite is very similar, with which the kitchen shares the large white ceramic flooring. The fact that there is no natural light conditioned the choice of an off-white wall tiling, as well as the white washbasin unit. The worktop extends the piece above the toilet to create a decorative shelf and another overhanging shelf has been placed in the lower part of the washbasin to keep the most essential items close at hand. The large horizontal mirror with an original braided frame in a metallic finish enhances the effect of enlarging this room.

As for the master bedroom, a handleless white made-to-measure wardrobe runs along the wall at the foot of the bed in a gentle curve. The same wood is chosen for the two simple shelves that act as bedside tables on either side of the bed, without any further artifice, to leave the whole lower part uncluttered and gain in visual amplitude. Delicate linen blinds filter the entry of natural light and, like the carpet and bed linen, have also been chosen in white. The only chromatic license allowed that alters the harmony of the bedroom is the dark walnut furniture, an heirloom piece from the owner.
