Located in the cosmopolitan Born district, the transformation of such a small apartment into a flexible and liveable space is a demonstration of the architect’s expertise. The intelligent distribution of furniture and spaces permits overlapping uses. The remodelling extends as far as the terraces, which function as an extension of the home.

Situado en el cosmopolita barrio del Born, este piso es una muestra de la pericia del arquitecto para transformar algo tan pequeño en un espacio elástico y habitable. La inteligente distribución de muebles y espacios permite solapar sus usos. La reforma llega hasta las terrazas, que funcionan como una prolongación de la vivienda.

The combination of convertible built-in furniture and accessories transforms this bed into a sofa and the table embedded in the wall into a desk.

La combinación de muebles convertibles y accesorios empotrados transforma esta cama en un sofá y la tabla incrustada en la pared, en un estudio.

The remodelling was authorized by the owner of this apartment. The kitchen occu-pies the middle of the first floor and is the linchpin around which the living room, the lounge and toilet all gravitate. The high ceilings, bare plaster and concrete walls give the space an airy and contemporary feel.

El propietario de este apartamento es quien firma su reforma. La cocina ocupa el centro de la primera planta y es su piedra angular, alrededor de la cual gravitan la sala de estar, el salón y el aseo. Los techos altos y las paredes desnudas, enyesa-das o de hormigón, confieren al espacio amplitud y modernidad.

The available height permitted here the creation of a loft space to accommodate the main bedroom and bathroom, which face towards the large window on the lower level.

La altura disponible permite crear un altillo descubierto que aloja el dormitorio y el baño principal, encarado hacia el ventanal del nivel inferior.

The aim of this apartment renovation was to convert rational seventies architecture into wide-open, minimalist spaces. The budget was tight. Furniture was stripped back to the essentials. The walls that separated the hall, kitchen and dining room were torn down and some of the finishes were changed. It was enough. As Mies van der Rohe said: less is more.

La reforma de este piso pretendía convertir la arquitectura racional de los años setenta a los espacios diáfanos del minimalismo. El presupuesto era ajustado. Se quitó mobiliario hasta dejar lo indispensable. Se tiraron abajo las paredes que separaban vestíbulo, cocina y comedor, y se cambiaron algunos materiales. Fue suficiente. Mies van der Rohe ya lo dejó dicho: menos es más.

«The old furniture bore loyal testimony to when the apartment was built», say the architects. Furniture firmly anchors a house in time. Change is visceral.

«El mobiliario anterior», señala el estudio, «era un fiel testigo de cuándo se construyó el piso». Nada se ancla tanto al tiempo como un mueble. El cambio es visceral.
