Vilabon Duplex
For the new redesign of the first floor of this house, Molins Design carried out a project of integral reform, based on an interior design for duplex 100% functional. In each of the rooms we also sought to maximize the entry of natural light from the terrace.
The furniture and objects of design and decoration chosen comply with a chromatic range of classic, warm and comfortable style.
The cream and white colors play perfectly with the black. Both the living room and the dining room combine this simple and luxurious chromatic palette.
Complete renovation of a duplex in the center of Barcelona
Today we show you a integral renovation of a duplex in Barcelona; a project of interior design and decoration created for a duplex house of large dimensions and with the basic services of a house for daily use.
This beautiful duplex located in the center of Barcelona covers in its square meters all the functions that one may need. In it we find a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen and three bedrooms located on the second floor. In addition, the house has a full terrace facing the interior of a courtyard of blocks of the famous Eixample district of Barcelona.
The owners’ family consists of a married couple with two young children. Hence, the house has two floors: the first floor, intended for the day area, which has direct access to a generous terrace at the same level and the second floor for the night area, with 3 large bedrooms.
The initial briefing received was very clear: we needed to make the most of the 42m2 of space available on the first floor or mezzanine of the house. Therefore, our first distribution is based on the traditional design of small apartments or duplexes.
We created a module which separates the living room and kitchen area, which does not reach the ceiling to reinforce the feeling of spaciousness.
This piece helped us play with the dual functionality of this central module, which on the one hand is part of a storage area and breakfast corner of the kitchen, and on the other becomes a piece of furniture to house the TV.
A highly functional dining room
When you have little space and you have to think about solving all the functionalities that a house requires, this type of proposals arise, so next to the dining room we designed a laundry corner hidden behind some cabinets, which barely suggest its particular interior content.
The dining table is an exclusive design by Molins Design with Abyss Leather granite top by Sensa and black iron legs in contrast with the chairs upholstered with Dolz fabric.
The original suspended lamp is the Nonne model by Designheure.
Custom-made staircase and hallway
In this project we also intervened in the design and manufacture of the staircase, made to measure with iron structure and lined in lacquered MDF and transparent glass railing.
To solve the entrance hall we created an entrance cabinet with two drawers with bottom handle in matte black.
The two-layer Chapel oak parquet with a smoked finish runs throughout this floor, providing elegance and naturalness to the whole.
Black & white in the kitchen
To continue with the chromatic proposal chosen on the first floor of this duplex we decided to design the furniture with the fronts of cabinets and drawers in gloss white, in which we installed a countertop and kitchen front with integrated sink in Abyss Leather granite from Sensa.
As for the appliances chosen we opted for high-end elements, such as the pyrolytic oven, the wine refrigerator and dishwasher from Miele and the refrigerator from Gaggenau.
Courtesy toilet
To design the toilet that serves the living room, dining room and kitchen we chose a black wallpaper from Élitis, we designed a custom-made washbasin cabinet fixed to the wall in matt black lacquer finish, on which we installed the Urban washbasin and a high spout faucet, both pieces of the firm Roca.
