DavidToday we travel to the Tres Torres neighborhood, in the upper area of Barcelona. There is this 400 m2 duplex, renovated by the architect and interior designer Carmela Moneo as head of the HELVETIC DESIGN PROPERTIES project. The goal of the Integral rehabilitation it was to print a modern industrial style into the space, with art as the driving element. For this, materials such as iron, black stone and the combination of different types of wood were used. As for parquet, the team relied on two Winco models: XXL brushed natural wood on the ground floor, and recycled wood from American railroad tracks on the upper floor for a rustic touch.
Each corner of the rooms was designed to bring a special uniqueness to the home. In this way, Helvetic Design Properties designed custom furniture throughout the house, combining niches in brushed rustic oak and treated with hydro-oil, on lacquered black iron structures with integrated luminaires that favor depth. Another key was the careful treatment of the lighting, since a lot of ambient light was requested in specific corners and places where the different works of art available to the property were to be hung.

In addition to the furniture with bespoke shelves, in the hall the recessed aluminum plinth with integrated LED stands out, a resource that is repeated in different areas of the house, lacquered in black or white to give continuity, according to the color requirements of each space.

The entrance leads to a cozy and elegant living room decorated with a model sofa Avalon and a Nani Marquina rug.
A central metallic staircase also stands out, suspended by floating rods attached to the ceiling in stainless steel. This was made of black lacquered sheet metal and with a wooden footprint from the same parquet as the ground floor.

In the search for spacious spaces, a kitchen was designed open to the dining room with a double island: one for work and the other for social. Countertops in black granite finish River, they were completed with a sink by Franke and black taps by Ritmonio.

By having a large dining table within walking distance, in the kitchen it was decided to design a office side for breakfast. This furniture, made to measure by Helvetic Design Properties, consists of a corner bench with an integrated trunk for storage and a natural leather cushion that enhances the warmth.

On the ceiling of the kitchen there is an extra flat white television, which, by activating a remote control, lowers and rotates 360º to be viewed from anywhere in the room. A super functional idea!

In the main bathroom, some mirrors with a sliding ceiling guide were designed to be able to move them and cover the windows depending on the moment. The furniture is also of its own design, with a rustic oak exterior to match the rest of the furniture in the house, and a Neolith countertop with integrated sink that combines with the niches and the metal and stone taps.
The walls of the bathrooms and the shower tray were lined with a full plate made of resistant materials such as Neolith, with different textures in each bathroom.

The irregular aged type exposed brick of the wall was manufactured at the request of the property. The Metric Shelving brushed metal by Moog adds the finishing touch to the décor of this space.
