n The large bedroom is separated from the

dining room by an original swing door. When

the door is closed, it is completely integrated

into the wall, creating a visual continuity.

n The kitchen is another room that stands out for its attractive design. Its

generous dimensions and the glass wall give it an even more spacious air.

EZ The uniform white color of the walls, the wooden parquet, and the

creation of subtle spatial divisions with glass walls accentuate the feeling

of spaciousness.

In keeping with the character of the loft, only necessary, basic pieces have

been used, with minimum decorative elements that break up the prevail-

ing linearity.

LOFT IN CALLE LAS MINAS

Alejandra Calabrese/Unlugar

his loft is the result of a remolded ground floor building located in the

center of Madrid. The owner and designer of the loft decided to preserve

the industrial elements of the space in order to retain the original look and

reduce the costs of remodeling. The color white—along with the cement and

other coarse, natural tones—dominates the entire space, especially the

kitchen. Color is limited to the private areas, where red breaks up the chro-

matic monotony and livens up the space. The presence of color symbolically

separates the communal areas from the private areas, differentiating space

and adding an extra element of design.

The street entrance leads to a large space that is shared between the

kitchen and the living room. The design favors sparse furniture of reduced

height, and reinforces the feeling of amplitude. On one side, the kitchen, with

its lines, adds to the combination of white with concrete and steel, and is suc-

cessfully integrated into the rest of the space. One the other sides is a mini-

malist living room. A white, black, and red area that can be converted into a

guest bedroom is located across from the stairs that lead to the cellar. The

austerely designed bedroom is located past the cellar stairs. The dresser is

white and red, and the bathroom adheres to the style of the rest of the loft

with its construction materials. Instead of doors, unfinished walls act as sep-

arators between the areas that require distinction.

the emptiness that characterizes the house.
