The starting point was a worn-out space that had lost its domestic feel after years of use as an office, in a privileged position: a corner overlooking the town square in the centre of Sant Feliu de Llobregat. The clients wanted a bright, flexible home connected with its urban surroundings, yet quiet.

The renovation focused on three goals: restoring natural light and a sense of space, organising the flat flexibly, and protecting it from the noise of a lively square that hosts many celebrations.

Instead of a compartmentalised layout, the flat is organised around diagonal views that let the eye cross the rooms until it reaches the outside. These sightlines widen the perception of space and invite the square into the home.

Circulation revolves around a large bookcase that is much more than storage: it organises the flat and lets it work as a whole or split into two parts without interference, for example to separate sleeping from living areas or to create an independent home office.

The floor is continuous concrete that shows the waves of the trowel, giving it a unique texture. The furniture is made of fir plywood, with the grain and knots of the wood left visible. The warmth of the wood balances the solidity of the concrete and gives the home a warm, calm atmosphere.
