Antonio Corcuera, Aitana Lleonart. The Big Book of Lofts

_ The 26 lofts of this complex are located in different apartment blocks.

On the lower floors the units offer a single level, and on the upper floors

they have been converted into duplex apartments. The idea of creating a

wall of fitted, multiuse cupboards increases the available space, bringing

a feeling of unification of the areas in line with the loft concept.

• The complex comprises 26 lofts and presents 7 different types of

apartments, the majority of which contain a work wall that runs along the

entire length of the unit.

This bathroom was located within an isolated paneled cube, made

in bright colors, which brings privacy as well as allowing freedom

of movement.

he great height of the roof of this apartment enabled the creation of a

second level half the size of the lower floor. In this way the dining room,

one of the most frequented areas of the dwelling, gains more space. The

kitchen has been positioned in the space under the upper floor, and the

different elements have been laid out along the right angle created by the

corner. There is a small wall at one end that converts into a breakfast bar.

These two structures subtly define the kitchen zone and separate it from the

dining room, which is just in front, taking up the rest of the lower floor

opposite the peaceful terrace. The high windows provide plenty of light for

both levels and emphasize the white of the walls and furniture, which are

splashed with touches of red.

The metal-structured staircase with its simple rail leads to the upper

level, where there is a large lounge with a sloping ceiling with skylights. The

master bedroom is behind the kitchen wall. The height of the ceiling of this

room compensates for its narrowness and light, subtle shades dominate the

decor. The bathroom, tiled in shades of gray, combines well with the white

and the wood, a fusion that is repeated throughout this high-ceilinged loft.

The floors have been furnished completely in parquet that, along with

the white walls and furniture, brings abundant luminosity to the loft. The

color red is apparent in all of the rooms—in the sofas, cupboards, and small

features—in the same way that metal is apparent in the windows, furniture,

staircase, and upper railings.
