When you call home the entire world with its hotels, its lodges and its inns, but also with all its camping tents, its cruise cabins and its plane seats, a tiny but cozy attic in the very heart of Malasaña might not seem so tiny after all… It may very well be instead all (or even more than) what you need to rest, recharge and plan out your next trip. It may also be the ideal refuge for those who seek to explore Madrid from inside (or above) or a bit of the city from a local´s point of view, just a few meters away from the more touristic streets while you do the same at the other end of the world. You might not need greater luxury or space when you have such views and a plan; when your eyes have seen so many miles and your feet finally find a moment to cease their walking. Maybe this green and walk-in travel guide themed library (provided with a bedroom, bathroom, terrace and kitchen) is just the perfect refuge for the modern traveler. At Egue y Seta we tackle each project as if we were embarking on a new trip.
Do you guys care to look at some of the postcards from this?

Cuando tu casa es el mundo entero con sus hoteles, sus cabañas y sus pensiones, pero también con sus tiendas de campaña, sus camarotes de barco y sus asientos de avión, un ático pequeño pero molón en Malasaña igual ya no resulta tan pequeño. Quizás sea todo (o casi más de) lo que necesitas para descansar, recargar pilas y planificar el próximo viaje. Quizás sea también el refugio ideal para los que busquen experimentar Madrid desde dentro (o desde arriba) o un poco de la ciudad de los madrileños a pocos metros de la de los turistas, mientras tú haces lo mismo en la otra punta del mundo. Quizás no hagan falta demasiados metros ni demasiado lujo cuando se tienen vistas y planes; cuando los ojos han recorrido ya tantas millas y los pies encuentran finalmente un momento para descansar. Quizás esta versión verde y habitable de la biblioteca especializada en guías de viaje, dotada de habitación (y baño y terraza y cocina) sea el refugio perfecto para el viajero moderno. En Egue y Seta emprendemos cada proyecto como si nos embarcásemos en un viaje. ¿Os apetece ver alguna postal?
