Project · Full renovation

Full renovation of an apartment with history and soul.
Gothic Quarter, Barcelona.

In the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, close to the Cathedral, this home kept the character of a stately period building: its ceilings, its proportions and its balconies were part of an identity we wanted to preserve throughout the transformation.

Location: Gothic Quarter, Barcelona
Layout: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a large living room
Duration of the works: 4 months, turnkey
Type of work: Full renovation with ceiling restoration

Living room with open kitchen in a renovated Gothic Quarter apartment in Barcelona: restored beamed ceilings painted white, herringbone flooring and wood-look units — The large living room with the open kitchen, under the restored beamed ceilings.

Turnkey in four months

Our company carried out a full turnkey renovation in four months. The project combined the refurbishment of an old home with contemporary interior design, shaping a home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room and balconies with fine views over the city.

Living room with an abstract painting, two white radiators, beamed ceiling and a door onto the balcony with views over the neighbourhood — Natural light and views of the neighbourhood from the living room balcony.

Working with the personality of the apartment

The starting point was to work with the personality of the apartment. Restoring the ceilings and taking care of the existing features made it possible to keep that special feeling of Barcelona's historic homes. The white finish brings out their relief and works with the natural light, while the new materials add warmth and a more current reading of the space.

The large living room, heart of the home

Renovating an apartment in an old building means coordinating restoration with the needs of everyday life. In this project, the layout, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the storage and the lighting were planned together. The large living room became the heart of the home, with room to share and to enjoy the connection with the neighbourhood through its balconies.

A kitchen of wood, marble and black tapware

The kitchen combines wood-look fronts with marble-effect worktops and splashbacks. An island with a sink extends the work surface, while the integrated appliances keep the composition clean. The black tapware adds a discreet contrast and the herringbone flooring gives rhythm and continuity to the interior.

Two bathrooms, two ideas

The two bathrooms were renovated with different ideas, united by attention to detail. In one, blue-green tiles give the shower area centre stage and contrast with white marble-effect surfaces. In the other, large-format tiles in grey tones create a calm atmosphere. Clear shower screens, wall-hung vanities and black tapware complete both spaces.

Renovating bathrooms and kitchens in Barcelona means taking care of both the layout and the execution: the tiling, the junctions between finishes, the position of the water points and the lighting of each area. In this home, those details allow the contemporary elements to live alongside the original architecture.

Bathroom with large-format tiles in grey tones, a corner shower with a clear screen, black tapware and a wall-hung vanity — Large-format grey tiles and a clear screen in the second bathroom.

Storage as part of the design

Storage is also part of the design. The dressing room makes the most of the space with open modules, rails and drawers, including a unit under the window. The light tones and the continuity of the finishes help to integrate these solutions into the whole without taking attention away from the restored ceilings.

Bespoke dressing room with open modules, hanging rails and a chest of drawers in a light textile finish — Open modules, rails and drawers in the dressing room.

Dressing room with a low unit of drawers and open cubbies under the window, hanging modules and herringbone flooring — The unit under the window makes use of every corner of the dressing room.

Trades and phases, coordinated

The turnkey delivery, completed in four months, was the result of coordinating the different trades and the phases of the works. From the interior refurbishment to the fitting of the furniture and the final finishes, every intervention was organised as part of one and the same project.

This renovation in the Gothic Quarter reflects the way we renew homes with history: keeping what gives them character and adapting their spaces to be enjoyed every day. An apartment with soul, open to the life of one of Barcelona's most singular neighbourhoods.
