    It makes such a difference in these small spaces to have some architectural detail - that ceiling is a treasure. It's hard to imagine anyone being thrilled in future years to uncover the original features of our developer-built housing. A lovely little space and clever use of the length with the one built-in piece.

    This apartment was definitely a challenge with this long small shape. They did a great job, and the balcony is a plus! I also like that they didnt customize everything, but just the kitchen/wardrobe and used vintage design furnitures to make it more personal.

    One really doesn't more (space!) to live a quality life! I love BCN to death; the time I lived there was fantastic and absolutely unique, thanks to its original architecture, among other things.
    Kudos to the cooperation of the owner and the architect who together created a very livable space without spending tons of money on useless total remodeling and compromising the owner's needs. The light distribution is well-thought, and the vaulted ceiling is a hidden gem of this small space.
    Though the entire apartment is pretty minimalistic, the overall impression is rather cozy, though modern.
    I am a big fan of the originally Hungarian architect Marcel Breuer, and I have been in love with his Cesca chair forever, so I am thrilled to see it in this small cutie.
    Well done, ladies!
