Apartment refurbishment in Alicante
To design hand to hand with a client is always a pleasure for us. If, in addition, the ideas and the likes of the client coincide with ours, the work is especially exciting.
The starting point was an old ground-floor house located in front of the beach. The humidity had left the building in bad conditions; a great effort was made to refurbish the space without losing the charm of the original structure.

Façade
The area of the main entrance was filled with concrete to reach the same height of the rest of the house in order to avoid possible floods in the raining season.
From the entrance you can see a panoramic view of the apartment with the most outstanding elements of the interior design.
Dining room
The entire apartment was leveled with a new concrete slab with a polish finish. This solution is very attractive when you look for an industrial style for the interior design of the house.
The apartment was designed giving maximum priority to the common areas so most of the surface corresponds to those spaces.
Living room
In this area the original wooden beams were preserved in perfect combination with the new laminate flooring.
The warm and dim lighting of the living-dining room contrasts with the white light of the interior rooms. This last shade was chosen to increase the sensation of daylight in rooms with less natural lighting.
One of the walls of the dining room was covered with irregular pieces of natural stone. The emboss of this natural finish was highlighted with lights embedded in the floor.
Kitchen
One of the walls of the dining room was covered with irregular pieces of natural stone. The emboss of this natural finish was highlighted with lights embedded in the floor.
The kitchen bar opens to the dining room, thus connecting the different spaces. The hood was covered with a metallic conduit which fits with the general style of the house.
Reading area
From the access door you can see the reading area, which is the heart of the house.
The pellet fireplace integrated in a custom closet and the small patio contribute to create a space for meditation and relax.
The patio in the center of the house articulates all the rooms and distribution spaces of the apartment.
Shared bathroom
The bathroom located in the common area was designed to tiled with light and bright tones. The glass screen and the arrangement of the mirrors contribute to a greater sense of spaciousness.
Main bathroom
The main bathroom instead, was tiled with imitation stone tiles. This is option suits perfectly with the location of this space at the bottom of the apartment, in a semi-underground house, giving the feeling of being in a space excavated in the ground.
The toilets and the indirect lighting of the mirrors were chosen in a minimalist style that gives a clean vision of the space.
Main bedroom
The main bedroom has a very original headboard that gives fills the area with a very personal touch.
The wall was preserved with the same stone of the original building and was highlighted with a led strip over the custom-made shelf.
Guest bedrooms
In the guest bedrooms, the decoration and the wallpaper chosen provide of identity both spaces.
