The Apartment Almudaina is located in the old town of Palma, near the Town Hall and the cathedral. The property is surrounded by narrow and winding streets. The owners were looking to create a new home in the city and were drawn to the vibrant street life of this characteristic neighborhood.
The apartment was in a condition that did not allow for habitation, so it was necessary to renovate the installations, kitchens, and bathrooms. During the renovation, we carefully considered the original elements of the dwelling to preserve its essence, such as the Ionic column, while incorporating contemporary elements to achieve a fusion of the old and the new, creating a chic and timeless atmosphere.
To achieve the desired chic effect, we combined the original colors of the dwelling with bolder tones, such as the red used in the sofa. Modern and traditional elements were mixed to create the feeling that they had always been there.
The flooring deserves special mention, as we decided to keep the original despite having to replace some hydraulic ceramic tiles. In some areas, herringbone oak wood was chosen.
The kitchen is a bright and open space. During the renovation, we opened up a hole in the load-bearing wall to connect the semi-open kitchen with the rest of the apartment. The chosen material for the island and other elements was Calacatta marble, which is white with distinctive gray veins.
