How One Barcelona Firm is Taking the City's Historic Housing to Stylish New Heights
How One Barcelona Firm is Taking the City's Historic Housing to Stylish New Heights
Apartments in the seaside Spanish city of Barcelona, especially those situated in the late-19th-century Eixample district, often come with desirable assets: double-height ceilings with fancy friezes; French doors leading to balconies; cement tile floor tiles embellished with a riot of colors and patterns.
What most don’t have is a layout suitable for modern life: Original kitchens tend to be minuscule (they were designed for the maid after all), and windowless bedrooms can make you feel like you are doing penance.
"The first thing we do is look at the light and the how we can alter the floor-plan to let more of it in," says Rubén Berenguer, one-third of Nook, a Barcelona studio that has become the go-to for (principally foreign) buyers looking to turn their fixer-uppers into homes as sunny as the city's weather.
The other two "Nook People" (as they call themselves) are Ann García and Joan Cortés. They work together in an old industrial loft in the Poblenou neighbourhood, which they converted into a spectacular co-working space with a freestanding volume in its center that serves as a meeting room.

45+ Fabulous ideas for spring decor on your balcony
45+ Fabulous ideas for spring decor on your balcony
Now that spring has sprung, its time to start thinking about ways to infuse spring style into your outdoor balcony, through updating and refreshing to give it a whole new look! Just like your interior spaces, your balcony can benefit from a seasonal spruce up by re-arranging your furnishings and adding some new accessories. If you are looking for just a quick fix, you can add a planter, some small pots, a lantern or other outdoor decor items to you space. You may want to consider an area rug and since it is springtime, you may want to infuse some bright pops of color with stripes or graphic prints. A watering can left on a side table or on the ground can be multi-purpose, there when you need it to water your plants and used as a cute decorative accent. Other great amenities to add to your springtime balcony, a small barbecue, a tabletop fireplace—check Target for a nice selection—an oil lamp, or even a fire bowl (if you are in an apartment you may want to check your lease or first). A big change would encompass adding some brand new outdoor furniture pieces to your space or hang some string lights to create a serene oasis that will look great at night!
If your balcony is not spring ready, than have a look below for some beautiful and inspiring ideas that we have gathered together for you that we hope you will find useful. If you want more outdoor inspiration on 1 Kindesign, then have a look here. Enjoy!
