In Retiro, moments from El Retiro Park and the cultural landmarks that define this neighbourhood, sits this 101 m² apartment on the second floor of a building with lift access. Recently completed, the residence faces outward onto the street, drawing natural light throughout its layout. The living and dining areas occupy the front of the home, opening onto a balcony that captures the rhythms of the neighbourhood beyond. The kitchen sits adjacent, designed for daily use and compact in its footprint. Two bedrooms—including a principal suite—are accompanied by two bathrooms, one ensuite. The spatial sequence moves fluidly from the social spaces at the front toward the more private sleeping quarters, with the terrace serving as an extension of the living area.
