In a stylish avenue known as Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona, Spain, the look is luxurious and the architecture, arresting. In one of its buildings, this expansive second floor apartment that looks out to Gaudi’s iconic Casa Mila perfectly mirrors that vibe. Its interiors are a fluid expression of rich earthy tones and distinctive lines, conveying a picture of understated luxury.
The living space serves as a familial retreat as well as entertainment hub, where rich wood tones blended with bespoke brass screens form an Afro-contemporary backdrop to luxurious furnishings.
Separating the entrance and living spaces are a row of custom-made polished brass screens, designed with intricate triangular perforations inspired by African beadwork.
The organic form of the custom-made carbon fibre dining table is matched with the flowy jellyfish-inspired chandelier above. A vibrant painting above the sideboard injects energy into the space.
The main bedroom continues the refined and distinctly woody mood. Suede and leather textures are matched with soft cream window drapes and delicate bedside lights.
The apartment’s French doors open out to the famous curves of Casa Mila by renowned architect Antoni Gaudi. Its fluid form is complemented with the sinuous wood sculpture nearby.
The family lounge boasts plush chocolate-toned furnishings, a feature fire place and TV wall panel. It opens up to a large landscaped terrace garden beyond.
Mirror cladding behind open shelves in the TV lounge visually extend the space. Furniture and accessories are kept to a chic minimum so as not to detract from the clean lines and neutral tones.
A double-height vertical garden wall creates a verdant setting – perfect for entertaining in the roof garden, while providing privacy from neighbours.
