The project consists of the renovation of a 1925 home in Pasaje Tubella, in Barcelona’s Las Corts district. The programme aims to solve the problem of a small home for two people combined with a professional design studio. The question, then, is to adapt a traditional home to today’s lifestyle that combines everyday private life with professional activity.
In the remodelling of the spaces – very compartmentalised and with no natural light – priority has been given to the creation of spaces open on to the interior courtyard, fluid circulations and the direct entry of natural light.
Therefore, both the home and the office have three large pieces of furniture that, besides solving storage, generate and distribute the different spaces and, in fact, replace the partition walls and favour freer circulation. A chromatic austerity dominates throughout the whole in contrast to the Noucentist aesthetic of the facade and the street as a whole.
