This small apartment is located on the second floor of a building built in 1950 in the Nova Esquerra neighborhood of Barcelona's Eixample. As noted by architect FJ Barba Corsini in a municipal engineering document report, the building has 4 doors per platform for middle-class discount housing.
The apartment structure consists of a load-bearing wall with 6 openings parallel to the street, including 4 elevations: two main elevations and two that belong to the inner courtyard. The floor is divided into two layers by a central load-bearing wall and connected by a small device. The house is entered from one end and its main facade overlooks the inner courtyard of the neighborhood. It consists of a living room-restaurant, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a toilet, located in a traditional, broken space. Total area 48 ㎡.

As usual, the strategy was cut short by the owner's refusal to carry out any type of structural planning (however trivial), forcing the designer to twist the project without losing its essence. This inconvenience does not hinder the resolution of the functions in the plan, as well as the unique characteristics of the project: specifically, to accommodate more than 1,400 CDs and 1,200 vinyl records in the owner's collection, which is why the integrated furniture was specially designed. ON THE MATERIAL AND COLOR LEVEL, THE NORTHEASTERN DIRECTION OF THE UNIQUE APPEARANCE CHOSE A CLEAR FLOOR SURFACE THAT REFLECTS RARE INCOMING LIGHT, WHILE THE COLOR OF THE CEILING IS USED AS AN ELEMENT OF WARMTH AND COMFORT. This shade extends to the polygonal volume of the bathroom, softens its edges and forms a contrast with the blue tones that appear in the interior and extend to specific points. Metallic elements contrast and subtly contrast with the almost milky and warm atmosphere of the apartment.
