Project Description

Designed with the city's signature architectural details—Volta Catalana ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows with small balconies—the space was a blank canvas with only a kitchen when a renowned local writer approached us.

Design Concept

After a few breakfasts with the owner and conversations about beauty, we had a clear vision for the interior. Our team visited trusted antique dealers, curating a selection of 18th-19th century pieces to feel as if they had always belonged here. To balance the antiques, we added mid-20th century furniture from our gallery: theater seats from Bologna, leather chairs by Pierre Chapo, and vintage Spanish posters.

DESIGN Approach

The goal was to create a harmonious mix of eras—an artistic, inspiring atmosphere for a creative mind. Soon, a writing desk from Seville will take its place by the bedroom window, where we know the owner will pen her next masterpiece.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

We don’t just design—we make dreams come true!
