Raúl Sánchez Architects refurbishes an apartment in Barcelona, Spain and as a result, creates a black-and-white interior space that harbors contemporary sensibilities. The layout of the abode is strongly defined, by contrast, boasting subtle abstractness with lines and shapes.
Commissioned by a bachelor, the architecture firm creates a welcoming and well-lit contemporary setting with an open-plan that allows for a fluid communication between living areas. The apartment includes a master bedroom, a sleeping quarters for the occasional quest, a lavish kitchen, a bathroom, and a living space. While these areas are created with function in mind, the black-and-white interior design — from the exquisite marbled kitchen countertops to the multi-textured glass wall that encloses the bedroom, boasts a strikingly contemporary setting and an unforgettable aesthetic.
