Historic Apartment Renovation in Gràcia, Barcelona
Some homes have a special story, and this apartment is one of them. During the 2008 financial crisis, this building in Gràcia remained untouched. Years later, Septiembre Arquitectura had the chance to renovate it.
Charming Location
Located in a quiet passage in Gràcia, this 105 m² apartment sits on the third floor. It retains unique features like hydraulic floors and original walls. Although in poor condition, it had a special soul worth preserving.
Respect for History
Our goal was to keep all original elements and remove additions. We opened spaces by removing unnecessary walls. Now, the home includes:
- Three bedrooms (two doubles).
- Two full bathrooms.
- An open-plan living-dining room with a kitchen.
- A small laundry area.
Natural Light and Open Spaces
Morning light floods the bedrooms, offering sea views. In the afternoon, it brightens the living-dining area. All spaces flow smoothly, keeping the original warmth.
Materials and Design
- Ceilings: Preserved ceramic vaults and metal beams.
- Walls: Exposed original construction.
- Flooring: Natural parquet to strengthen the structure.
- Bathrooms: 10×10 cm porcelain tiles. The main bathroom is green, while the smaller one is beige.
The Kitchen as the Highlight
Designed in a U-shape, it features a bar connecting to the living room. Cabinets combine oak wood and dark green lacquer, blending perfectly with the overall design.
Harmonious Decoration
With help from The Home Hunter and Somos Nido, the apartment was decorated with simple furniture, art, and warm textiles. The result is a cozy home that invites you to stay.
