This pied-à-terre is nestled in the heart of the vibrant art gallery district in Madrid, close to Reina Sofía Museum. Located on the ground floor of a building with direct street access, this urban retreat offers the perfect blend of modern design and practical living.
An urban refuge | MADRID
The project embraces a clean, minimalist aesthetic, featuring high-quality materials such as wood, stone, and steel that come together to create a timeless, balanced interior. With an open-plan layout, the living and cooking areas flow seamlessly into one another, while a cozy library/bedroom sits tucked away at the back. Neutral tones of white and gray dominate the space, enhancing the sense of airiness and light throughout, while also maintaining a serene, uncluttered atmosphere.
The carefully chosen materials—stone flooring, wooden surfaces, and steel fixtures—add warmth and texture to the space, creating a contemporary and durable environment. Bright textile accents infuse the home with a playful yet refined touch, while expansive walls provide the ideal backdrop for showcasing art. The integrated, flexible lighting system adds to the apartment’s modern elegance, casting the perfect ambiance at any time of day.
The bedroom, situated at the back of the apartment, offers a peaceful and private sanctuary. Smart storage solutions and multi-functional spaces ensure that every inch of the apartment serves a purpose, perfectly tailored to the demands of urban living.
Custom-designed furniture crafted from louro preto veneer adds a unique, personal touch to the home. Vintage elements, such as a rare handmade Frank Lloyd Wright carpet titled “Maple Blossom,” serve as special highlights throughout the space.
This project is a shining example of how thoughtful design can elevate a living environment—combining aesthetic beauty with functional efficiency. The result is a modern, streamlined home with a strong focus on elegance, quality materials, and practicality, demonstrating how architecture can perfectly align with both lifestyle and comfort.
