Jota Apartment | Deza Setién

A new configuration is proposed for this 135m2 apartment located in the surroundings of Plaza Francesc Macià, in Barcelona, through the interaction between different volumes which demarcate the rooms, articulate the routes and structure the emptiness and occupation.

 The almost total monochromatic materiality of the house, allows us to focus on the most fundamental aspects, which prioritizes the experience in space, and allows the light and shadows to draw and provide discontinuity to the uniformity generated by it.

 In the collective area, consisting of an entrance hall, living-dining-reading area, study and kitchen, the protagonism of the walnut veneer used in the central volume perpendicular to the facade is accentuated, which, in addition to having an exhibition function, delimits this area of the intimate, and is flanked on both sides by two sliding panels, which allow the easy blurring of the limits and the dilution of the house in a single space.

Attached to the rest of the day area is the kitchen, articulated by a central island and with the possibility of being completely isolated through a sliding door with walnut wood frames and tinted glass, which collects the space and at the same time sifts the light that filters into the interior.

 A short distributor gives way to the private area, where the threshold of light that is generated in the final section discovers the continuity towards the bedroom area and directs the route towards them.
