In Barcelona, a duplex in a "finca regia", we were commissioned a complete renovation of the house that included, total reorganization of the distribution, structural rehabilitation, arrangement of the facade and gardens.

"Living like in a country house, but in the middle of the city, privacy and plenty of space to share with guests", were the main requirements.

"Everything that is new, will be new and basic, we will not try to imitate, the contemporary will be contemporary and the original will be rescued and will give detail and personality to the spaces."

The first strategy was to convert the basement floor to the open floor plan... the space for sharing, where indoor and outdoor flow and multi-functionality will accentuate the country house feeling, while on the second floor the spaces respond to the personal character as a private box overlooking the garden. A central core, a staircase in the heart fulfills its vital function of distributing and ordering all the vertical and horizontal relationships of the house.

The result is a house with personality that reflects the passage of time, with a contemporary intervention that harmonizes and blend form and function into a balanced, a relaxed and unique unit.
