Renovating an old Spanish penthouse to modern standards is no easy task, but when our Swedish client approached us with a vision for this space, we knew we had a unique challenge on our hands. The penthouse boasted traditional Spanish architecture, with antique tiles, iron balconies, and expansive terraces overlooking the bustling cityscape of Barcelona. That said, it was in dire need of an update to meet the expectations of a modern-day homeowner.

What we did
Collaborating with this discerning client was an absolute pleasure. With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for luxurious touches, she brought a unique Scandinavian aesthetic to the table that would blend beautifully with the existing Spanish charm of the penthouse. From the start, it was clear that every aspect of this renovation would be thoughtfully considered, with no detail overlooked. Our team worked tirelessly to breathe new life into the space while preserving its cultural heritage. We carefully restored the intricate tilework and added high-quality finishes to give the penthouse a refined and polished look. One of the key design challenges was to introduce modern amenities without compromising the original charm of the space. The refurbished kitchen, for instance, features sleek, custom-made cabinetry and state-of-the-art appliances, all carefully integrated with traditional Spanish tiles and wooden beams. Throughout the project, we worked diligently to address any potential obstacles in advance, ensuring that the renovation would proceed smoothly from start to finish. Our team’s attention to detail and commitment to quality ensured that every feature was executed flawlessly, from the marble accents to the lighting solutions. The result is a stunning blend of old-world charm and modern elegance, with a Scandinavian touch that brings it all together. From the stylish furnishings to the carefully curated decor, every element of the penthouse has been carefully selected to reflect our client’s vision and style.
The transformation of the spaces was deeply radical, focused on refining even the most subtle details. It was a renovation where our expert builders and artisans truly showcased their skills.
