A pastry chef and a perfusionist splurge on bespoke cabinetry and fluted glass to fill their run-down flat with light, color, and curves.
Whether you’re buying or renting, the housing stock in Barcelona is chronically depleted. So when Carlos García and Victor Gómez came across a top-floor apartment in the newly fashionable Sagrada Familia district, they jumped at the opportunity—and not only because of its close-up vistas of Gaudí’s famous basilica.

"It was the terrace and large balcony that felt right," says Victor. "And because the apartment is three floors higher than our immediate neighbors, we wouldn’t be annoyed by noise through shared walls." Before signing the deed, they called in an architect they knew, Andrea Serboli, to inspect the property for humidity and structural faults. He ended up taking charge of its transformation from a run-down, angle-cut dwelling into a delightful home where color and curves set a tone as inviting as the city itself.

The home’s walls are largely painted in a neutral shade: Royal Flax by Benjamin Moore. The interior of the red storage units is covered in a veneer Ettore Sottsass designed for ALPI.
