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

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.

  • Lago Vista

    This project was a true evolution of design. The owners originally approached DC+A about 10 years ago to design an informal home on their narrow cliff-side lot in the resort community of Lago Vista outside of Austin, TX. The couple worked with our firm remotely, trusting us to design their dream home. The original designs were for the narrow lot, but when a piece of land became available next door, the owners bought it and decided to re-envision their dream home to stretch across both pieces of property and leave more “breathing room” for the neighboring properties. The ultimate design is a 4,000 square foot limestone-clad home that frames views of the Colorado River from every room. The home uses some classic hill country and contemporary features that lend themselves well to the Central Texas lakeside setting, incorporated in a beautifully laid-back way. Featuring clerestory windows, floor to ceiling retractable glass doors and multi-purpose rooms, the home has an incredible quality and depth of natural light. The furnishings complement the architecture while remaining both casual and durable. Concrete floors add to the easy-going personality of the home, while redwood finishes outside and white oak inside reflect the riverside setting. The landscaping echoes the home’s relaxed nature with indigenous plants, while the Texas-sourced Antique Lueders Limestone finishing the exterior walls roots the home firmly in its setting.
