The known Spanish studio OOAA Arquitectura has completed the renovation of an apartment in the center of Madrid, the Salud apartment. The apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms and it is located in a classic building with long, vertical windows, and load-bearing walls. The apartment’s emphasis is on the contrast of textures and lines, to balance what he says is the “classic language” of the building with the firm’s modernist intervention. A notable feature of ‘Salud’ is its textured ceiling with curved edges and the curved bathroom surfaces that are distinct from the apartment’s prevailing straight lines. As for the interior finishes, the firm aimed to homogenize them in a beige palette. As OOAA’s director, Iker Ochotorena says in his “IGNANT” interview: “We create geometric vacuums and volumes carved in noble materials to achieve a silent, serene and warm architecture.”
