Embracing Urban Potentials
The allure of urban attics lies in their inherent charm – elevated, partially hidden structures floating above the cityscape, often associated with bohemian lifestyles. Flix House, nestled within the bustling heart of Madrid, epitomizes this allure, situated on the sixth floor of a historic building constructed in 1900 near Callao square.
A Spatial Symphony: From Concept to Creation
Roberto’s home, Flix House, occupies a compact 42 m2 space beneath the roofline. Initially compartmentalized into two rooms with distinct sloping roofs, the design challenge lay in optimizing this minimal footprint while ensuring flexibility, diversity, and luminosity. The solution? A meticulously crafted layout comprising four interconnected zones: bedroom/dressing room, entrance, workspace/bathroom, and kitchen/living/dining area.
Crafting Architectural Narratives
Each zone within Flix House tells a unique story, carefully curated to blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. The entrance, resembling the interior of a ship, sets the stage for a transformative journey. The bathroom, atomized for spatial efficiency, features a mirrored cabin that enhances the sense of space while offering playful reflections.
Functional Elegance in Design
The kitchen/living/dining area, characterized by a linear structure, embodies compactness without compromise. Laminated HPL ultra-matte yellow panels infuse brightness into the space, complementing the porcelain flooring and minimalist furniture arrangement. Natural light floods in through strategically placed roof windows, illuminating the apartment’s interiors.
Nightfall: A Cinematic Experience
As daylight fades, Flix House undergoes a mesmerizing transformation. The shower cabin, now illuminated, casts a warm glow throughout the space, evoking scenes from a cinematic masterpiece. Against the backdrop of Madrid’s skyline, the house, adorned with light furniture and subtle lighting, exudes an ethereal charm, inviting residents to immerse themselves in its tranquil ambiance.
A Journey Beyond Architecture
Beyond its architectural finesse, Flix House is a testament to urban living, seamlessly blending heritage with modernity. As night descends and city lights twinkle, Flix House offers a sanctuary in the sky, a tranquil haven amidst the urban bustle, where residents can find solace and serenity beneath the Madrid skyline.
