When it comes to big cities, every inch of space is valuable and in a city like Barcelona, a small, old and unused porter’s residence is also a goldmine of opportunities! Even more so when the creative minds at YLAB Arquitectos completely remodel the 38 square meter space to create a modern, functional and space-saving occasional home perfect for the city dweller. This small apartment has been designed to eliminate clutter, maximize the available space both functionally and aesthetically, and ensure the apartment has a personality of its own GraceBarcelona inspires you with inspiration and wonder.

White and wood create a beautiful and space-saving interior for the tiny apartment in Barcelona

The defining aspect of this converted unit is undoubtedly the bespoke white satin lacquer joinery with natural light oak veneer throughout, giving it a polished sheen. Step inside and you will be amazed at how the warmth of wood is carefully intertwined with modern white finishes as the kitchen central unit and workspace transform into various functional decorative items in different rooms. There is a visual and textural continuation of the style with bespoke decor transforming every single space in the home. Even in the bathroom, the white and wood theme continues with a neutral backdrop and a gorgeous floating wood vanity.
