In Sant Gervasi stands the iconic Banco Urquijo building, designed by architect José Antonio Coderch. A residence in this landmark building has been transformed, maintaining a balance between its rich history and contemporary needs.

The owners, a family with children, longed for a home that recaptured the original essence of Coderch, but with modern touches. They focused on two main areas: a daytime zone with interconnected spaces and a nighttime zone comprising four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

  • To respect Coderch's design, the building's original layout was studied. This research allowed for a design that prioritizes natural light, a hallmark of Coderch, and where the living areas remain connected through sliding doors, providing both continuity and privacy.

    The kitchen, the heart of the home, evokes the original design by maintaining its bright gallery. It features a parallel layout with cherry WOOD cabinetry complemented by Blanco LAMINATED countertops. This design is not only functional but also allows for the incorporation of a space that can be used as an auxiliary dining area thanks to the ample countertop.

The interiors showcase a carefully curated selection of materials. The Coderch woodwork has been largely restored, and where this wasn't possible, cedar doors were incorporated that respect the original tone. The owners desired touches of color, and this is reflected in the ceramic tiles in the bathrooms and kitchen, with shades that echo the building's facade.

The renovation has created a space that is both a tribute to history and a response to modern life. The owners are immensely satisfied, living in a welcoming space with a unique essence.
