We are refurbishing a piano nobile apartment on Carrer Avingo in the Barrio Gotico of Barcelona. The apartment is situated at a major crossroads in the city. Like the Flatiron Building in New York, where Broadway meets the orthogonal grid, the triangular plan of the apartment's interior registers this moment in the city. Our first intervention is to strip back the internal partitions to reveal the corner and so reconnect living in the apartment to the streets beyond.
