In the refined setting of Barrio de Salamanca, this apartment occupies the second floor of a classic building, its renovation revealing a balance of contemporary clarity and the quiet authority of its period architecture. A lift opens directly into the home, where the sequence of spaces begins with a broad entrance hall that sets the tone for the material language of oak, stone and plaster throughout. The living and dining areas unfold as a single, generous volume, connected by a linear kitchen finished in natural stone and custom cabinetry. Beyond, a terrace extends the interior outward, offering a rare moment of openness within the city. The private quarters are arranged along a corridor lined with built-in storage, leading to three bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The principal suite includes a dressing area and an en suite finished in marble, while a fourth bathroom serves the guest spaces. A study, positioned at the end of the corridor, completes the layout with a sense of separation and focus.
