House in El Maresme
Brief
Renovation of the small house that is the first home of a young couple, in a coastal village on the outskirts of Barcelona.
Solution
Directed by Albert Serrano, in this project we defined an open-plan space and subtly divided it with the kitchen open to the dining room and two lounges for different uses adjacent to the central space. One of the lounges has a more private character, intended for reading and watching television, and the other is more social, designed for gatherings or large projections on a cinema screen. A large bench joins them and above it is the fireplace, which has two sides and separates the social lounge from the dining room. The private lounge is separated from the entrance hallway by a wall of wooden slats, to give it privacy but not enclose the long corridor at the same time. The corridor gives access to the night area, where we find the large suite, dressing room and fresh air bathroom, another small bedroom and a second bathroom.
