Barcelona: Spirit FreeThis amazing flat captured me when I found it on DWELL recently. Avant-garde & unique, it's home to architect, Benedetta Tagliabue, her two sons, dog & parrot. Located in Barcelona, Spain, Tagliabue took a dilapidated, 18th century building & renovated it just enough for modern living. Much of the original architecture was left rusty & crusty allowing it's spirit to remain. My design philosophy is a mix of age & modern touches splashed with a cool vibe. This combination just feels right to me. Because the structure is hundreds of years old, Tagliabue left it in tact & added her artistic, modern touches everywhere. Her free spirit shines here & I love it. You can read the full article & see more amazing images here on DWELL. Learn more about Benedetta Tagliabue & her world renown architecture firm, EMBT. And, now, I'm adding Barcelona to my travel list. It's a must.
