Inspired by a desire to preserve and to highlight the beautiful architecture of the space, The Room Studio gave this loft apartment from Barcelona the most wonderful makeover. They were careful to emphasize the high ceilings, the exposed brick walls and polished concrete floors through a unique layout which takes advantage of all these elements and adds even more focal points.

The space is characterized by a strong contrast between the private and the social areas as well as by a very natural and organic connection between all the different areas. that’s partially due to all the carefully-selected furniture pieces and accessories such as the Butterfly chairs or the stylish Wireflow pendant lamps.
