Apartment in Madrid: A Modern Design Journey

The renovation showcases a visual delight that captures the transitional essence of the 1950s, marking the shift from midcentury design to the Space Age. The blue Ekstrem lounge chair seamlessly complements this aesthetic.

Villa La Roche serves as a prime illustration that the modern movement transcends the typical palette of whites, grays, and blacks. In fact, it embraces a vibrant spectrum of colors. This inspired our choice of a light blue ceiling, cream-colored walls, and pale pink microcement floors. The kitchen, centrally located within the apartment, features a blend of terracotta and maroon, creating a striking focal point, the team elaborates.

To enhance the project, we aimed to introduce contemporary elements, incorporating designs from Belgian studio Muller Van Severen and Danish brand HAY. The kitchen is adorned with 6×6-inch ecru tiles that match the countertop, while the bathroom features a maroon and blue checkerboard pattern. Additionally, we opted to preserve the original terrazzo flooring in the bedroom, the team adds.

This project reaffirms our understanding of Plutarco—the firm masterfully integrates color, functionality, and design, resulting in contemporary solutions characterized by their clarity and sophistication. Le Corbusier would undoubtedly have appreciated this apartment, as his legacy is intricately tied to advancements in urban planning and social housing. The Concepción neighborhood of Madrid is inextricably linked to its social housing, a connection that resonates within this apartment as well.
