Lights in the attic
Lights in the attic
by Enrique Krahe
After a long period abroad, Rosa and Juanma start a new stage in Madrid. They found a penthouse in the city center and their wish was to renovate it into a place where to display their art collection, their books and music, and the objects they have gathered while in Europe.
The new plan transforms the previous layout of the apartment, establishing a sequence of nested spaces living – dinning – kitchen. The narrow corridor was transformed into a library (that merges with part of the attic in order to get Northern natural light) as a space both for distribution and stay, in transition towards the more private areas, and is completed with a reading corner.
The mezzanine, a working and leisure space, asoma both to the living room and to the double height kitchen.
