We are located on the third floor of a building built in 1935 in the neighborhood of Poble Sec; a place of humble origin embedded in a port atmosphere, located in a privileged place of the city considered the first expansion of Barcelona.
Here, a modest apartment of only 45m2, although it seemed to have partially renounced the careful and generalized ornamentations of the imposing spaces that the twentieth century houses of the "Eixample" showed, did not seem to have otherwise, abandoned the pretension of wealth fruit of the way of inhabiting an era, in which the compartmentalization, giving its own identity to the different spaces of a house, could either overshadow reduced surface floors, nor make floors of solemn measures shine.
Introducing a program that was in keeping with the needs of our current dwelling in this compartmentalization , small sized and certainly obscured flat, soon raised to consider the validity of all those contemporary practices, that opt for a single open space as the possible most suitable solution to the problems of a reduced home, thus making with it disappear useful domestic spaces such as the entrance hall, the corridor or the hallway of a house.
