Drawn to the features of late 19th-century Barcelona modernist architecture in the apartment, architect and owner Carlota Siverio preserved elements such as the door, tiles and windows whilst adding modern touches that complement the overall design. By removing the coverings of the living room walls and stripping the ceiling, Siverio revealed exposed brickwork walls and a gorgeous structural vault ceiling, reminiscent of the period. A variety of colourful mosaic tiles were either restored or authentically re-created when too damaged. White melamine floor-to-ceiling storage cabinets concealing functional elements run throughout the apartment and seamlessly blend into the wall, allowing the heritage elements to be focal points. At the end of the apartment, the sunroom features era-appropriate terracotta 'rasilla' tiles and reconstructed windows that now open fully providing an outdoor extension of the living space.
