The 360 m² Alfonso Xii Apartment by OOAA Architecture, on Alfonso XII Street in Madrid, overlooking Retiro Park, is a renovation project emphasizing harmonious design and functionality. The proposed layout reimagines the space with three bedrooms, aligning with the rhythm of the windows and existing architectural elements, such as a challenging line of interior pillars. This approach ensures the new distribution feels natural and avoids awkward remnants of prior renovations.
The design features a dynamic double circulation system around the kitchen-dining area and eliminates corridors, ensuring privacy through strategically placed secondary spaces like pantries and dressing rooms in blind areas. These serve as buffers, creating seamless transitions between living areas. Material and furniture choices aim to balance urban sophistication with homely warmth. The palette includes dark oak for doors, light oak for ceilings, limestone for floors and transitions, lime finishes for walls, and smoked mirrors for social space doors.
Together, these elements create an elegant, visually cohesive aesthetic. Neutral-colored carpets and curtains blend with the architecture, while the décor subtly enhances the space with crafted, patina-rich pieces. These details add a layer of refinement, offering understated elegance that reveals craftsmanship and quality upon closer inspection.
