ART AND SOUL

To complement the modern industrial look of the loft, the material palette comprises a variety of glass and metals, paired with recycled wood and comfortable textiles to bring a tactile touch to the interior. “natural materials such as leather and organic fabrics are used throughout the house, playing with the plain and more dynamic patterns,” share the design duo.

Elsewhere in the open-plan space, a colourful collection of artworks creates areas of interest, such as sculptures, photographs and paintings acquired from the Víctor Lope Contemporary Art Gallery. Plants in concrete pots and vases complement the industrial-style scheme and add a tropical touch to the apartment. The final outcome certainly impressed the itinerant homeowners, who are contemplating making it their primary residence. “The owners are so delighted that they are considering coming to live in Barcelona,” quip the designers. “The days they were in the loft were very comfortable and radically changed their way of thinking; they went from the concept of a home for a few days a year to their main home.”
