Casa Omar

A fully renovated pair of attached houses where the peculiarities of the original massing become the project’s leitmotiv.

The scheme drawn up by Arquitectura G for this dwelling within a city block of the Catalonian capital’s Eixample frees up the two floor levels completely by removing the old partition, and connects them by means of a spiral staircase that rises the double height. The operation also facilitates illumination through a skylight.

The bathroom, kitchen, storage, and MEP services are placed behind white louver doors that, when closed, have a purifying effect on the actual living spaces, which, however, are executed with material generosity, using large plaques of Macael marble that together with the grey carpeting create a ‘soft and clean’ look.
