Tiny Barcelona Home Refurbishment in White, Brick and Wood with Mezzanine Level

ByMyProperty Life

Originally built in the 1930’s this tiny revamped apartment in Barcelona sits on top of a building that is a stone’s throw away from the coastline. Inside the apartment, it is white, brick and wood that dominate the setting as the Mezzanine House Refurbishment by Sergi Pons architects creates more space and visual lightness with innovative solutions. The apartment has just 60 square feet of space on the inside while the loft bedroom above adds additional room with ease. The mezzanine level makes most of the vertical space on offer with kitchen and dining area below.

White, wood and brick apartment in Barcelona








White and brick help create a backdrop that is neutral, simple and has plenty of textural contrast at the same time. Feeling monochromatic at times and yet creative, wood accents coupled with white are accentuated by décor and accessories in the same color palette. The apartment was designed for the use of a globe-trotting young Catalan who spends most of his time in Bali. This means emphasis was placed on making the apartment as uncomplicated as possible with focus being place on just the basics.

    Situated in Tulum, this small boutique hotel rises between the trees, in which the main concept consisted in preserving 70% of the existing vegetation in order to build around it. By achieving this, every space of the project is always in relation to its natural surroundings. The hotel has five 50m2 lodges, formed by a double height room, a mezzanine or “tapanco”, a terrace and an indoor-outdoor bathroom. At the back of the lot the social areas are located, with a dining space and yoga pavilion hanging in cantilever over the pool. The main idea of this water element is to be extruded from the ground in between the vegetation. For this reason, two old zapote trees were preserved, which look as they were rising from the pool itself. All the project is composed by local materials, as well as low maintenance and natural textures, which provide a warm atmosphere to the buildings. A particular finish found on the walls is “chukum”, a Mayan stucco characteristic of the region, which uses a tree resin to give its distinctive color, appearance and durability. The objective was to use materials that age with dignity, so that with the passing of time the architecture acquires character and a deeper sense of belonging. The different volumes of the complex are scattered along the lot, between the trees and stone paths, which provide a sensation of being in a small village in the Mayan jungle. Throughout the design process there was a search for pure forms and natural materials that could blend with the surrounding context. In a sense, Jungle Keva is like an abstraction or simplification of vernacular architecture, easy to read, simple and with a social, natural and economic conscience.
