Check out this wonderful renovated apartment (130m2), located in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, in a catalogued building located behind the City Hall. The project is based on a reinterpretation of the existing spatial structure of different rooms with differentiated uses and atmospheres, redefining the assigned uses and functions and creating new spatial and visual connections without allowing the traditional elements to predominate. The aim for YLAB was to create a peaceful environment which allows its young owner privacy and a work place, while creating a social meeting place for meals and parties.

The kitchen-dining room, a spacious and clean space, warm and elegant, recalls the old clubs and cafes. The ceiling and longitudinal wall, which begins in the entrance vestibule, are paneled with tinted pine wood slats, assembled by hand.
