A green-tiled bathtub<\/a> overlooks the living room inside this 59-square-metre apartment<\/a> in Barcelona<\/a>, designed by architecture practice Sigla Studio as a “continuous domestic landscape”. <\/span><\/p>\n

Located in the city’s Tur\u00f3 Park neighbourhood, the apartment was renovated<\/a> for a client who wanted an open, spacious environment with plenty of natural light where she could live alone while also accommodating guests.<\/p>\n

“We wanted to explore how domestic boundaries could become softer, more ambiguous and reversible \u2013 we questioned why the kitchen has become socially integrated while other functions, particularly the bathroom, still remain hidden,” Sigla Studio<\/a>\u00a0co-founder Bernat Riera told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“Rather than organising the home as isolated rooms connected by circulation, we imagined it as a continuous domestic landscape where bathing, cooking, dressing, resting and socialising could coexist without hierarchy.”<\/p>\n

Sigla Studio organised the layout around a central core containing the bathroom, kitchen and dressing room, positioned to allow natural light, views and ventilation throughout the space.<\/p>\n

Completed using a material palette of ceramics, wood and aluminium, this functional core connects the open-plan living area to a more contained bedroom at the opposite end of the apartment.<\/p>\n

Designed to blur the boundary of public and private space within the home, the bathtub is integrated into the living room, complete with a motorised pivoting window system that allows it to be closed off when needed.<\/p>\n

Green glazed ceramic tiles by local manufacturer Cer\u00e1mica Ferr\u00e9s line the bathing area, including an arched ceiling feature intended to create a “more immersive and almost cavernous quality,” said Riera.<\/p>\n
