Derelict apartment becomes open penthouse with 360º city views

- Many of Barcelona’s attic apartments were once used for storage, doorman’s rooms or pigeon lofts so when Dori Sadan bought his he hired his own studio (Mira Architecture) and knocked down walls in the cramped space and added exterior, operable walls of glass to create a light and airy penthouse flat.
Wanting to pay homage to the home’s location in Barcelona’s formerly-industrial Poblenou neighborhood, Mira Architecture exposed the raw materials of the space. After scraping the ceiling and walls to reveal the original brick and vaulted ceilings, he unified the different brickwork from various decades by adding a coat of white paint.
The floors of the entire apartment - and walls of the bathrooms- are covered in microcement to further unify the disparate levels of the different terraces. In the “wet” areas- bathtub, shower and kitchen sink- Mira opened up skylights to allow for natural daylight and reflection on the water.
“The apartment is formed as one conscientiously calm space which gently changes from outside, to bedroom, flowing to kitchen, melting into living room, and transforming back into the exterior,” write the Mira architects. “A wooden terrace area, which runs around the property, can be accessed the vast window-doors at either end of the apartment, giving the impression of a balanced circle. Wooden planters line the terrace and conceal the surrounding rooftops, creating a secluded retreat from the densely populated urban life.”

I found it. This is my dream apartment, period. The color, the design, the comfort...
What did you find?
@@autumn5852 What?
@@andthanksforwatching you said you found it - I was just wondering what you had found 🤷♀️ actually, reading it again I can see now that you probably meant that ‘it’ is your dream apartment, I was just thinking maybe you had found a lost sock or something 😝 - I’m autistic so my facility of processing information is different from that of neurotypical people. For example, I’m at a park now and a sign says ‘fishing for disabled’ but I can’t see any disabled people in the lake waiting to be fished 🤷♀️ so the sign doesn’t make sense to me
@@autumn5852 haha, I get it! Sorry if I sounded mean?
Ha ha, I love how the guy has such a penchant for honesty, and when she asked like a double barrelled question, does he ever just lie there, is it like a meditative space, it would have been so easy for him to just say yes, but he HAD to clarify, lying there, yes, meditation, no. Love it!
With that attitude, he's sort of already reached some sort of enlightenment. Not having to lie about yourself is a virtue in and of itself
@@charmedprince Virtue, yes, enlightenment, no 😉
Gorgeous apartment. I love everything about it from that humongous bed/sofa to the tropical shower room and the beautiful roof terrace. I could happily live there forever.
Leaving that one part of the wall unpainted is genius. I love everything about this apartment 🥰
Light everywhere, in every room, so beautiful, I love this. Thank you Kirsten
I could live here. Easy. Simple but with a hint of luxury.
And hopefully a lift for older visitors.
A hint of luxury. I like that.
@@CLBOO6 or just comfort or style. its enough
@@richardmollberg3096 Beautiful yet functional and practical. Most importantly easy to clean or fix.
@@CLBOO6 exactly so
This is a dream penthouse! I love everything about it. The simplicity and the industrial feeling with still many interesting details and sense of cosiness and privacy.
This architect is an inspired artist!! Beautiful functioning piece of heaven in the middle of the city. Like heaven on earth.
This apartment and your channel. My favorites!
This is why I love renting converted house apartment instead of complex box apartments. You get to see different decades of work
This place is so thoughtfully laid out. Thank you to the designer/builders for walking me through. Kirsten makes him comfortable enough so he will share more details with her. Flawless. They have thought of everything for modern living. G.
Love the guys ingenuity! Barcelona and all of Spain is in my bucket list all on its own!
I wish we knew more about the costs involved -- how much the original space cost, and how much to renovate. For all of us who dream of doing this, it would be very useful.
Every project is different. The location of the property will drastically change the cost. The amount you put in to refurbish relies heavily on the prior condition and the materials and furniture to turn the space into a livable one is dependent on your patience and craftiness.
TL;DR = It's completely variable. Do your research.
I would guess at least 1.5 million euros total.
@@tomedward8652 As a local I'm guessing, way, way less. The owner bought well in an up and coming (but still affordable) neighborhood, plus he's a construction insider. Way less. Yet the results are stunning.
@@nicolasboullosa yes, having lived in (an expensive area) of Spain I d also guess way, way less.
Might be less than 1.5mill but looking at prices they are around 5000 euros a sqm. From the aerial view the property looks to be between 150 and 200sqm. The fixtures and fittings will still be expensive even at wholesale prices. So I would still argue over a million - especially as you pay a premium for roof space.
wow you can see the la sagrada familia cathedral from his balcony. what a dream home
That's a pretty common view in Barcelona tbh, I can see almost all of it from my work place (from a different district in the city).
It's a huge building, so if you live in a tall apartment building or live in the neighbourhoods on the Collserola mountains (such as Guinardó, Horta, etc) you'll see it pretty often.
I like how the plants on the edge of the roof kind of frame the scenery and how its all open.
Great apartment, love the out door space and all the plants
What an amazing transformation. I would love to stay there for a while. It's calm and vivid at the same time.
I really appreciate the sky lights and folding windows. I detest dark spaces. The complete design of the apartment is brilliant and relaxing!
This one is so lovely. The plants and all the windows just seem heavenly. I don’t usually go for minimalism either but this seems so warm and fresh. I like how they did the office space for the wife.
I felt a crush on seeing the bathrooms.
More videos of apartment lik this pls..so inspiring
As always. Thank you. This home/story is lovely.
Wonderful apartment. Love the minimalism, the indoor/outdoor element, the light, and the terrace with all of the plants is a dream.
Job well done! I'm impressed with how he makes approx 900 sq ft seem so spacious.
IMO probably one of the top you have filmed. Modern but not austere and stark. Elegant simplicity. Awesome.
Love your channel Kirsten....The creativity of the people you feature is inspiring
A lovely well-considered space. The terrace, plants in the winter give it a relaxed vibe.
What a gorgeous home! I found it so interesting to learn from an architect how to enhance light, texture and life. Thank you. 💕
dreamy, I love the natural elements, the thick wood, the cement. Everything is built around the design and it shows
Barcelona has the most creative people in Europe 💕💕
Happy new year! Kristen!
Thank you for all your effort!
So well thought through, so calm, so connected, so unpretentous! 10/10! Thank you as ever for sharing. Enjoy
This is An amazing house and that guy is my kind of ppl with his loved of plant. I can spot some of the plants as I have. I hope more ppl are like him. Having plant is so calming
Love this conversion. A detail i really appreciated is how the terrace fabric screening drapes similarly to the vaulting of the original ceiling. And truly appreciated the regional plants in the terrace edging. I enjoyed the Ibiza countryside when i visited. Having paella in a giant pan from a firepit on the beach surrounded by that same botany is a particularly fond memory.
I love that shower window idea! :)
The bookshelf modell is from Sweden call String furniture.
Thanks I actually have some of it in the apartment I'm renting and really like the angled display shelves they had in theirs so going to see what is available here in the UK to add.
Very elegant apartment, efficient use of space, beautiful bright colours and maximum use of light and natural ventilation.
Love the editing and shooting style. It’s casual, cozy and friendly.
Ingenious. The lounge area is an example of what you can do. I note a further terrace area that’s cordoned off. Probably retained by the seller for access to the roof, but I can’t understand why. There’s no utilities that require access. It would have been nice to have that space for something like a glass roofed bedroom or an office. Nice video, thanks 🙏
Its just insane. What a phenomenal space!! Thanks for showing! :-).
I am absolutely in love with the garden. That Aloe though! Totally fab!
It's gorgeous - I love all the skylights and open walls and micro cement surfaces! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Kirsten, looking forward for more transformations like this
Great job! Indoor/outdoor shower feels like Japanese outdoor bath.
Stunning apartment and production, thank you!
I loved the cement and the urban jungle. I would prefer white on the storage place. But really nice!
another gem....thanks for the ride........
Beautiful design, garden is outstanding. And I am so jealous of your winter.
Beautiful Penthouse. Happy new year.
Beautiful work, as always, Kirsten... Love seeing every idea; it really takes the viewer away for a moment, fills our imaginations with our own versions. =) I'm subscribed to somewhere around 300 channels, yours is one of the very best. Can't emphasize enough how exceptional all aspects and facets are of your efforts. I look forward to new videos. Thanks for helping create a great example in so many different ways. Words cannot express our gratitude...
Absolutely Brilliant!
