Separating spaces

The wall hides the dressing area and visually reinforces the sense of vertical height of the roof.

The reform

Jaime decided to transform a house completely compartmentalized in a spacious apartment, open, connected and stays very personal décor.

Details

The decor is attention to details, and any hidden corner of the house beautiful and elegant surprises.

High ceilings

The high ceilings were key when Jaime was decided to buy the house:

The first thing I liked about it was the height of the ceilings, very important, 4 feet and beak, in that if I pay a lot, is what gives me a greater sense of luxury and space.

Radical change

The reform is the work of the decorator Geli Perez Gomez, who faced a radical change in the house.

This authentic home belongs to Barbara Aurell,  designer at Espacio en Blanco (White Space), the concept of whiteness being sustained by her own house. It is situated in the neighborhood of Garcia de Barcelona and its main objective was that of taking advantage of the 70 m2 space on two heights and, at the same time, of the natural space offered by the entrance window. The 20 m2 yard gives clarity, the space offering a harmonious line from the entrance to the living area and creating a pleasant atmosphere that makes you feel at ease.

The general air is that of an industrial loft with white walls, but without loosing the character of home. The interior provides an intelligent combination of vintage and modern decorative objects that reveal the personality of the owner (the sofa, the chaise longue are only a few details that contribute to the general character.)

The light definitely occupies an important place, offering a distinctive ambient (both the natural light and the light offered by the lamps).The whiteness of the walls makes everything seem more spacious, while the shades of red and the contrast with black add a tone of personality to the house.
