Located on the top floor of a multi-family housing building in Barcelona’s Raval neighbourhood, the penthouse designed by P-M-A-A has access from the centre to a floor strangled by a lightwell that divides the house into two separate spaces: the first one, a street-facing room, and the second one, a four-times larger space divided by a series of parallel walls, derived from a structural rehabilitation.
GVFC Apartment is a refurbishment project carried out by Balzar Arquitectos contemplating the complete renovation of the apartment located in a building designed by the architect Antonio Escario, situated in one of the main avenues of the city of Valencia. The apartment occupies a corner position, characteristic for its chamfer that follows the configuration of the surrounding blocks. The organization of the interior has been a challenge for the architects as the geometry of the floor consists of different walls that are not perpendicular to each other.
