Cometa Architects reconfigure this 56 sqm Marina apartment, which is situated near Barcelona’s Olympic Marina. Cometa architects reconfigure the apartment by knocking down all interior walls and opening up the frontal exterior wall in order to achieve uninterrupted space and views, creating an architectural journey where one would need just the essential. The square plan of the apartment is organized around a compact wooden cabin, where the toilet, closets, laundry room and installations are located.
The main uses of space are symmetrically balanced around it: kitchen & storage on its right side, living and sleeping facing front and bathing to the left. The exposed installations, precisely composed by marine copper piping, fittings and light fixtures, are stretching over the solid surfaces, offering a warm radiance, perhaps the only decorative element of the apartment, while methodically correspond to the specific uses.
Two pure white volumes determine the wet areas: the kitchen island and the bathtub. The economy of space is an attribute to this project, where beds, sofas, all custom wooden design furniture and integrated closets are becoming storage. Despite the limited square meters, this apartment enjoys extended space thanks to the direct connection of the interior-exterior which doubles the space, letting tones of natural light enter and of course the natural breeze of the sea.
