Pink-toned apartment takes advantage of original 1930s design

In 1930, in Spain, it was common for apartment plans to have high ceilings, long hallways and large bathrooms , as this was where distinguished guests would pass through. Therefore, it was necessary for these spaces to be conceptualized as rooms, environments to be lived in. Part of this tradition is still printed at Casa Huellas , cumuloLimbo studio , located in Madrid. Several aspects were maintained, just updated for our time. In this way, the size of the rooms was balanced, enlarging the bedroom and kitchen so that it was possible to spend time and carry out other activities in them. Instead of a living room , a common and flexible room was created, which could be used as a dining room, dance room or workshop, depending on the need. The highlight of the renovation, however, is the kitchen . The old facilities were preserved, maintaining the vintage charm of the space, but its configuration was changed, allowing the new distribution to be along the walls, in a new diagonal. The hydraulic tiles in different shades of pink gave life to the decoration , which became modern and unconventional.

In the bathroom , the triangular pattern was maintained for the cladding, which took advantage of raw materials, such as stone , to contrast the composition. The burnt cement appears next to the warm pink tones on the opposite wall, creating a visual continuation throughout. the apartment. The typical layout of another era is visible on the walls and ceiling, which have been kept original. The premise of the office is to transform, not destroy, thus "keeping the traces of what used to be". With small, necessary and coherent interventions, it was possible to introduce the apartment to current needs, without completely changing its character. Via ArchDaily
