This Barcelona waterfront apartment with a magnificent view was decorated within the limitations of a rented flat which make more radical interventions impossible. The original features, such as the finishings and the kitchen from 1978, were maintained and stressed using a mixture of vintage, in situ found and new furniture and contemporary art pieces and reproductions to achieve a maximal functionality and effect with minimal investment. The colour scheme moves from the bold red, black and white combination in the living room, to more contemplative oranges of the bedroom cum study and whites of the master bedroom, putting always in the first plan the spectacle of the city outside.
