LB Flat

Renewed by Alventosa Morell Arquitectes in Barcelona, the apartment features a single wooden volume that configures and articulates the hall, the bedroom and the main room.

The LB Flat Renovation is an example of the situation of many dwellings in neighborhoods such as Vila de Gràcia in Barcelona and how to give a simple and effective solution. The small, narrow, elongated flat had obvious problems in bringing natural light to the innermost corners. An excess of compartmentalisation, strategically misplaced storage elements and a poorly used rear facade are the causes of the gloomy and precarious look.The first decision in the LB flat renovation was to remove all the partitions and interior elements and leave a completely diaphanous space from facade to facade. The next step was to improve the relationship between the house and the back terrace through more direct contact. Removing the kitchen from the gallery that gives access to the terrace will allow to open the facade and that the terrace is present even from the first moment you come into the apartment.

At this point you have to stop “remove” to “put” something. A single volume configures and articulates the hall, the bedroom and the main room. In addition, this self-sufficient structure contains the place to be used as a playroom or as a studio and storage spaces for all rooms. All in one. The most unique piece of the renovation is an autonomous wooden skeleton landed on the floor and leaning against the wall but without touching the vault, which helps the unitary understanding of the whole house.
