In the process of renovating the apartment, several layers of the house were stripped until the original bricks were found on the walls or the ceramics on the ceiling. In each intervention, an attempt was made to balance the construction styles of the old and new, dry construction based on oak frames and painted wood soffits.
Centenary apartment in Barcelona. Balance between old and new building languages
The TwoBo Arquitectura studio renovates an apartment with 120 years of history, preserving the original characteristic elements, such as mosaic floors and ceiling moldings and eliminating the numerous internal partitions of the original layout.
The layout is handled symmetrically: at the extremes there are two spaces that preserve the original floor and the mouldings of the original distribution. On one side is the main room with a bathroom, on the other side are the dining room, kitchen and living room. The original construction is more highlighted in the center, retaining the brick walls, the original windows or iron beams.
