Renovated and restructured narrow apartment in a historic neighborhood from Barcelona

Located in an old building from the historic neighborhood of Poble Nou in Barcelona, this narrow apartment practically begged for a renovation. The extremely narrow floor plan was definitely an inconvenience for both the clients and the architects that had to conduct the project. The loft had a surface of 100 square meters.The project was developed by YLAB arquitectos and the main concern was introducing more natural light into the apartment. Given its deep and narrow plan, managing to create an airy, spacious and bright look was a challenge.

In order to respond to this major request, the architects needed to remove a few partitions. The main living spaces are organized around a bathroom. The architects had to eliminate the unnecessary partitions, the goal being the creation of a new internal distribution that would only contain a bedroom suite, a guest bathroom, a second bedroom, a studio, a kitchen, a dining room and a living area.

A New York loft where work and entertainment meet in a stylish, contemporary design

Located in New York City, USA, this beautiful loft apartment belongs to a European gentleman who wanted a pied-a-terre in that area. The apartment becomes his home only during the fall. He asked New York-based design studio Inc Architecture and Design for help with the interior. It’s how the apartment became the Laight Loft project.The client wanted this loft to be a place for both work and entertainment.

Transforming the apartment was challenging but quite easy, given the fact that the client didn’t have any extraordinary, specific requests. Completed in 2006, the transformation cost $2,200,000. It now has a contemporary interior and, as the client, requested, it combines work spaces with entertainment areas. Its owner can now spend his fall here enjoying time with friends and family and taking care of business, all in the same place.

Bohemian Apartment in New York

It is not our fault that all the apartments in the building built so far look the same and have the same boxy look with small rooms and narrow hallways and bathrooms.That’s the compromise we have to make if we want to fit all in the same urban center. This being said it is our duty to make each apartment unique by its content if it can’t be possible in other way. To give you a small taste of what I am talking about and what making it yours means nowadays take a loot at the pictures below.

This project is called the “Bohemian Apartment” and it is located in one of the crowded cities in the world: New York and was designed by Incorporated Architecture & Design. The new ideas are transposed in the existing space based upon a very unusual concept for interior design: picture in picture. As you can see instead of using the apartment’s structure as the “frame” for everything that goes in, the apartment is used as a shell and inside there are new structures that have that nice picture in picture effect.

A modern residential apartment in a former church

It might seem odd for some people that certain persons enjoy living in a church. It has nothing to do with their beliefs and has no religious significance. It is a choice based on the architectural beauty of the building and the uniqueness of the internal structure and organization of the spaces.This old Westbourne Grove Church is located in London. At one point it was no longer used for its intended purpose. It was then that its current owners realized what great potential the church had.

They decided to transform it into their new residential space. The old church was turned into a lovely home and it is now a truly unique place. It was a project developed by DOSarchtiects. Given the circumstances, the architects preserved the exterior of the church intact. It would have been all in vain if nothing from the original design was incorporated into the new look.

Stylish and inviting apartment in Moscow by Kirill Isomin

This apartment is located in Moscow. The décor is quite suggestive. There are numerous elements that allow us to place in that particular region of the globe. But there are also plenty of details that make it unique. The apartment was a project by Kirill Isomin. The main goal was to create a pleasant, cheerful and inviting home for a family with two children.

The apartment was organized in a way that allows it to take advantage of the sun and the orientation of the windows. The rooms are filled with light and, when this wasn’t possible, the designer used the lack of abundant light in his favor. Beautiful contrasts were created. Some rooms are light and serene while others have a more dramatic look. There’s a very interesting balance between these two directions. The color palette is very interesting.
