On a corner of Calle Lista in Salamanca, this residence occupies the top floor of a 1954 building, its position granting light from all four orientations. A full renovation has redefined the space, preserving the original structure while introducing a contemporary sensibility that emphasizes openness and flow. The elevator ascends directly to the apartment, where a wide entrance hall sets the tone for the home’s generous proportions.

Salamanca
Salamanca sets both Madrid's price ceiling and its social register. Developed in the 19th century by the Marqués de Salamanca as a deliberate enclave for the capital's aristocracy and new industrial wealth, the district still functions that way — embassies, private banks, the Spanish flagships of every European luxury house, and the quiet buildings where old-money families have lived for generations. The grid is rectilinear and deliberate: wide pavements, ten-meter cornice heights, yellow-flowering jacarandas lining the avenues in April. The built form is uneven up close — protected-façade classics on the main avenues, unremarkable 1960s–70s infill on the side streets, a growing share of gut-renovations marketed as "obra nueva" — but the address is the product, and buyers are paying for it.
