On Trafalgar Street, the border that divides the Eixample and the Ciutat Vella of Barcelona, we discover a very peculiar building, designed and built by Joan Torras, a reference in the architecture and engineering of Spain that had as architects students such as Antoni Gaudí, Elías Rogent or Augusto Font Carreras. The property, built in 1900, and with an elongated floor covered by a courtyard that gives it the appearance of a passage, "is part of one of the blocks built on the land gained from the city at the time of demolishing the walls and urbanize the new rounds. Consequently, the grouping of buildings does not respond to any typical characteristic, neither of the old nor the modern neighborhood. It has its own personality. Its own rules, "explains Nicolás Markuerkiaga from the ZAGA study, responsible for reforming a of the houses in the ground floor that in the past was linked to a commercial premises that was used as a grocery store and now houses the new We bistrot.
The 74 square meters of the floor, whose promoter is FHAUS, they are now divided into an entrance with courtesy bathroom, a living room with dining room and integrated kitchen and a bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom separated by glass doors that allow the passage of natural light to the room. Although the renovation has adapted the plant to the current life needs, creating a more fluid and functional home, the architects wanted to pay tribute to its centennial history, rescuing some frescoes from the original construction of the walls of the hall or restoring the existing wooden doors. To give dynamism to the environment without leaving sobriety, they have created carpets with hydraulic tiles and parquet arranged in a spike and the walls are covered by moldings that serve as a visual link between the frescoes and the pure white of the other walls.
The HS Decor studio was in charge of the decoration, with which they wanted to "furnish in an elegant, but discreet way and enhance the architectural virtues of the house", having in mind "to create a sophisticated environment for a demanding tenant who values aesthetics besides well-being, "they explain. The materials used in the main space (such as marble, wood or iron doors) are top quality and create a neutral but luxurious base that has been enhanced with furniture with golden touches and velvet upholstery, providing color with the decorative accessories The bedroom has opted for a more masculine and sober aesthetic, with leather chairs, iron and marble bedside tables and bedding in sober tones. The result is a home as luxurious as it is serene.
