Awesome Renovated Loft in Barcelona with Unique Corners and Modern Industrial Style

ByMyProperty Life

Modern industrial lofts have become a popular trend in the last few years and renovating one demands as much care as it does innovation. The Poblenou Loft in El Poblenou, Barcelona designed by The Room Studio is one such beautiful and exquisite renovated loft where modernity has been carefully combined with industrial past. The moment you step in; you instantly notice the lovely brick walls all around. It is the spacious and inviting living area with the more industrial kitchen next to it and a social dining zone at its heart that steals the spotlight. With vaulted ceilings in white, everything in here feels a bit different from the usual!

Despite its industrial past being preserved beautifully, the house veers towards modernity and even minimalism with each of the different living room corners delivering something special. Brightly colored rugs and ceiling lighting fixtures have been used to delineate space while giant indoor plants in the corner also add ample greenery. A curved sofa in white creates a plush and relaxing TV while the rest of the house also embraces this innovative and organic design theme. Modular islands, smart storage units and brilliant lighting complete this amazing loft. [Photography: Mauricio Fuertes]

Stools and the iconic Campari lamps by Ingo Maurer were included, thus giving the red note that is repeated in some spaces. Very special pieces with a lot of character were placed in the dining room, matching the modern style and providing a note of contemporary design. This combination allowed to obtain fluidity, finding the perfect balance between comfort, design and warmth.

  • Big Barn

    North of San Francisco, in Glen Ellen, a less populated part of the Napa wine country, the culture has been based on agriculture and was named for an original winery.  Jack London made this his permanent home here in the early 1900s. Drawn by the land, London believed in the redemptive qualities of rural life. Less than an hour from the City, rolling hills covered with groves of oak trees surround the downtown. The strong agricultural history has affected the built environment here with many examples of barn like houses that are confusingly morphed between the two vocabularies. On the existing footprint of a 1950’s ranch house, this family getaway evolved in response to a request for a retreat from their urban lifestyle. The atmosphere of a tack barn renovated into a bunk house on site inspired thoughts of a larger barn like typology for this main house of 3,900 square feet. The request from the client was to build in a consistent way within the rolling hills dappled with agricultural buildings. A simple, rectangular, two-story form emerged with an asymmetrical gabled roof. The shorter side of the roof faces the southwest sun and reduces heat gain to the structure. Fenestration is limited to this exposure as well and is organized like thin full height ventilation shutters that reference traditional barn building. The entry, a larger version of the vertical slit elements is recessed for shading. The fireplace and chimney, foreign to the barn typology, is displaced from the structure with glazed joints. The east side is more open to the view and morning sun. A continuous, building-sized assembly of steel sash glazing includes large sliding doors that pocket into the adjacent wall and open the kitchen to the rear terrace.  The upper zone of the main space is void of windows and reminds one of the empty shell-like spaces of barns. A large vertical wood shutter located on the southeast gable end is aligned axially with an internal access through the plan on both levels. When open at both ends, prevailing breezes flow through the mass cooling it naturally. In order to leave the hillside intact and avoid grading, the form is excavated into the site uphill and cantilevered over it downhill. A steel grated bridge connects the upper sleeping level with the hillside and tack barn above. A minimal material pallet of reclaimed redwood, corrugated Corten steel and black steel sash windows combined with integral gutters, and lack of overhangs further the minimal feeling of the construction. Inside the singular materiality is continued via California Oak for floors wall and ceilings. Radiantly heated floors and minimal cooling provided only at sleeping areas, coupled with enhanced glazing, insulation and mechanical system efficiencies mitigate energy use.
