A serene and functional interior design for a Barcelona penthouse apartment

Escipió, Barcelona

When the homeowners bought this penthouse with two terraces localized in Barcelona, they were already aware that it required a complete renovation, focusing on interior design and decoration intervention in Barcelona, as everything was very outdated. Regarding the layout, Tinda's Project studio made hardly any changes, as it suited the needs of the couple and their teenage daughter quite well, except for a couple of partitions that had to be moved to make the bathrooms a little bigger.

The new owners' requests focused on having open and spacious rooms, correspondingly storage space, which was achieved thanks to the bespoke cupboards in the hallway. This L-shaped corridor is the one that articulates the entire floor of the flat, whose surface area totals 123 square meters, including terraces.

Bespoke furniture design sets the standard in all spaces.

The other advantage of the flat is its corner position, which means that all the rooms, excluding the small office located next to the lobby and the two bathrooms that face the interior of the building, boast plenty of light and views of the street as well.

DISTRIBUTION

ENTRANCE

The entrance hall, with simple lines, has two wardrobes on either side of a console, all custom designed by Tinda's Project and with the taupe grey finish that characterizes the chromatic palette of all its projects. The horizontal striped wallpaper has also been chosen in the same tones.

KITCHEN

From the entrance to the flat, the first section of the corridor leads directly to the kitchen, one of the best-used rooms. Its rectangular floor plan allows for two differentiated areas. On the one hand, the U-shaped work area in the inner part and whose furniture has been updated with new doors and handles, maintains the classic black granite worktop, matching the existing porcelain floor that also frames this area.

In the most external part, with direct access to one of the terraces, the office has been located next to a piece of furniture that runs along the wall, designed by the studio with the same finishes as the rest of the kitchen. In addition to some integrated electrical appliances, it includes laundry equipment and, in addition, a more decorative and service part for the table. The existence of a master pillar that caused a very narrow backdrop is used to accommodate the television.

LIVING ROOM

The second section of the corridor leads to the living room, which has an original and barely perceptible oblique shape concerning the general floor plan. It also has an open mini anteroom that is used as a reading corner. Next to the wing chair and the plasterboard shelving is a book-style table leaning against the wall designed by the studio that, for special occasions, opens and can seat up to 12 people. When closed, it is presented as a console that serves as a support for some decorative elements.

The bigger space is the living room, presided over by a custom-made sofa with chaise longue and upholstered in the same range of colours as the rest of the house, as can also be seen in the curtains and the carpet. Next to the sofa, Tinda's Project has designed the bookcase with open and closed spaces that bring visual dynamism to the environment.

TERRACE

The living room leads out onto the terrace designed by Tinda's Project's landscaping department. To add a special outdoor decking, the entire perimeter has also been decorated with a wooden design that alternates planters and benches, leaving the central part free to place some side tables. A pair of wooden lattices also provide a certain intimacy to the space.

MASTER BEDROOM

Just in front of the reading corner is the access to the master bedroom, which boasts a lot of light, as it has two windows, one of which connects to the terrace. All the furniture has been made to measure: the desk overlooking the terrace with the armchair, the pouf-type bench for shoes, and the wooden and lacquer headboard with integrated bedside tables and lamps. Once again, the taupe grey tone provides a unique ambient environment, including the made-to-measure curtains, and is only altered by some touches of colour proposed for the bed textiles, highlighting the photograph that presides over the bedroom.

MASTER BATHROOM

Both the floor and the wall covering in the shower area is a dark-colored imitation marble porcelain tile, matching the mirror frame and the washbasin taps. The wall-mounted washbasin unit is a design by Tinda's Project with a drawer unit in a mouse grey finish and the worktop in white colour.

COURTESY BATHROOM

The courtesy bathroom has been tiled in white porcelain imitating marble that plays with different sizes and finishes because the front of the washbasin has been chosen in the meter type, whereas the shower is smooth.

The black lacquered custom-made unit with gold handles stands out for its contrast, situated in a line that extends from the washbasin to the toilet, integrating the tank, which is not visible.
