# Constellation-Inspired Apartment Designs Mersura Furnishes the Casa Vasto in El Poblenou By Amy Duong | Published 2023-09-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-vasto References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2023/09/20/mesura-residential-art-gallery-casa-vasto-barcelona/) & [mesura.eu](https://mesura.eu/)  Local design studio Mesura designs a new home for living and working dubbed the [Casa Vasto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colombo-and-serboli-architecture-1) located in El Poblenou. It was commissioned by a gallery owner and the aim was to create a living area that is also simultaneously an [exhibition space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galeria-house). The apartment's base is what [used to be a factory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burr-studio) and breaks into two spaces -- the public living area and the kitchen area that also works as a place to host exhibitions. The private bedroom and bathroom are then closed off solely for the owner. Mesura explains, "The project's interior design is reinterpreted as a constellation of unique objects detached from the apartment's limits. These elements contrast with the white-washed walls and light-wood furnishings to emerge as accents of colour and form, weaving a cohesive and contemporary identity throughout the project, drawing focus to the pieces and artwork."
