Early 20th-century apartments in Madrid are typically organized around long corridors and small internal courtyards. This proposal brings together the entrance hall, kitchen, and living room into a single continuous space, where each area is defined by a distinctive architectural element: a large vanilla-coloured MDF shelving unit that folds into the suspended ceiling, a cherry wood volume emerging into the living room, and black panelling that marks the entrance. Cherry wood, aluminium, marble, and off-white finishes coexist with the exposed steel structure, allowing the living room to reach a height of over three metres.

The renovation of this ground-floor apartment in Sarrià seeks to strengthen the relationship between the home and the outdoor passage, which, due to the change in level, functions almost as a private courtyard. One end of the floor plan is opened up to create a shared kitchen, dining, and living area.
To make the most of the available space, the dining table extends directly from the kitchen island. The kitchen cabinetry continues into the living area, concealing storage and reinforcing a clean, uncluttered interior. The aim was to create a calm, almost empty space where decoration is kept to a minimum, offering a different way to experience Barcelona.

The project begins with an early 20th-century apartment of just over 65 m², originally divided into four bedrooms—two of them without windows—along with an entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and laundry area. This highly compartmentalized layout met only the most basic functional needs, limiting both the usability and spatial potential of the home.
The intervention removes partitions in an apartment with more rooms than windows, dissolving the rigid boundaries between spaces. A freestanding wooden volume, housing the wet areas and storage, becomes the project’s central element. Acting as a filter, it allows the interior to be perceived as a continuous whole while still offering the possibility of separating different areas.
The apartment is reimagined as a sequence of flexible, interchangeable spaces. Sliding doors, installed within the existing openings of the load-bearing wall, allow varying degrees of enclosure. This adaptable system enables the home to evolve alongside the changing needs of its occupants.

Ávila reinterprets a former warehouse in Barcelona’s Poblenou district, transforming it into a 120 m² multifunctional living space. The project organizes different areas with minimal partitions, using void as its central design principle. On the upper floor, a square void set on the diagonal becomes the circulation core, creating visual connections throughout the interior, including a view of the rear façade from the staircase. Large-format ceramic surfaces unify the flooring, kitchen island, and sofa, reinforcing a sense of continuity. Light tones and seamless finishes create a bright, warm atmosphere, while integrated furniture and restrained materiality place the emphasis on space, light, and everyday living rather than ornamentation.
