his attic is situated in an impressive modern building dating back to

1954, and is a magnificent example of the fusion of renovation and the

context in which it is placed. The interior of the apartment has been com-

pletely renovated, leaving only the impressive yellow brick wall that covers

the false perimeter walls, inherited from the previous attic. The terrace

stretches around the whole apartment, benefiting from its prime position at

the top of the building. These exterior spaces offer fine views and also pro-

vide abundant natural light, which fills the interior. The day space is laid out

around two open patios that also provide light. One of them, surrounded by

a bamboo garden, boasts a hot tub and a shower for the summer months.

The other patio, which has a wooden roof, draws inspiration from the Ori-

ent and is a space for contemplation.

The kitchen has been converted into the focal point of the loft with a

slate work surface that continues through to the dining room, becoming the

table and finishing just before the lounge, which brings fluidity to the three

spaces. The living room is quite different from the loft's traditional spaces,

given that it houses a rug with a low table with cushions on both sides,

again drawing inspiration from the Orient, on which the design of this loft

is based. A small pond offers one of the elements of nature—water—

creating a corner of serenity. The guest bedroom has a separate entrance

and has been designed to obtain the maximum flexibility, since all of the

bedrooms can be connected or divided among themselves.

The combination of steel, brick, and polished cement creates a

character true to the aspect of a loft dwelling, while the wooden floor and

the oriental aspects convert it into a pleasant, modern residence. The

designer furniture and the warm shades, such as orange and red, bring life

to the whole entity.
