Margaret. Rehabilitation of a flat in Barcelona

Allaround Lab as Architects

After freeing the space from the existing partitions, we built up a freestanding box that contains the wet program and the storage space of the house and works as a filter between day-time and night-time areas. Thus, this volume allows a continuous reading of the interior space while having the ability to segregate it.

At the same time, the interior area of the house is thought of as a juxtaposition of indefinite and flexible spaces that, thanks to the sliding door system that takes advantage of the existing gaps in the load-bearing wall, can be segregated according to the needs and use of each one of them.

Team:
Architects: Noelia de la Red, Jordi Ribas 
Collaborators: Mònica Piqué
