Starting only from the structure and the façades already built, in this project we were able to carry out the complete interior layout of the property, to transform what until then had been an empty box into a home. The layout of the parts of the house is the ideal time to reflect on what our lifestyle is and how we can apply it to our home so that it suits our needs and not the other way around. That is why you need to ask yourself some questions such as: do you like to cook alone or as a team? Do you often have visitors? Do you work remotely? And so on.

Attention to the small details of finishes, lighting, decoration and furniture allows us to give a distinctive feature to our projects and the care we like to take with each of them is evident.

In the centre of the ground floor there is a core space formed by the staircase and a small bathroom that allows the space to be divided into two different areas, but at the same time they continue to be connected in such a way that both the movement through and the perception of space are not interrupted, thus creating a feeling of spaciousness. On the one hand we have the living room where the access staircase to the upper floors is open, and on the other, a space for the kitchen and dining room, which is also linked to the rear terrace through a large window, creating an extension of these spaces for sunny days.

A feature of the design is the first section of open staircase to help us accentuate the feeling of spaciousness. Hence, the finish of the steps is used with pieces of the same wood as the floor surface and a transparent glass railing with the structure concealed behind the wall finishing panel that follows the shape of the steps. This panel allows us to use the cavity under the stairs where we have fitted a cupboard. With the choice of materials and colours of the finishes, as well as in the choice of furniture and decoration, light tones and natural materials are used, typical of the Mediterranean style that we like so much.
