NM BEACH FRONT

Collaboration in a Stunning Setting

160m2 POBLE NOU BARCELONA, SPAIN

When Openhouse Magazine’s founder Andrew Trotter approached me to co-operate on the design of a beach front apartment located in Barcelona’s Nueva Marbella area, we were excited. The setting was stunning, with a view towards the Mediterranean Sea. However, the existing set up was rather sad and did not pay tribute to this outstanding location.

We decided to re-organize the apartment to achieve a clear layout, with view creating the main axes. Furthermore the master bedroom had to be restructured, to give it a generous distribution, and incorporate all functions into a fluid space.

A screen made of tinted pine wood emphasises the main axes in the new distribution, and serves as backdrop in living and master bedroom.

The furniture is a selection of comfortable, slightly sculptural pieces, giving it the Brazilian touch our clients asked for, being Brazilian themselves.

We developed a simple, natural colour and material palette, using travertine for flooring and wall coverings, mixed with structured ceramic tiles.
