Designed as both María’s home and a creative experiment, the renovation opened up a formerly divided seven-room layout, uncovering original Catalan vaulted ceilings and introducing soft tones and natural textures. At the heart of the apartment, a flowing kitchen, dining nook, and living area are anchored by a custom island made for gathering and daily life. With flexible furniture, hidden storage, and thoughtful details—from microcement floors to handmade tiles—Carpe Diem is proof that small spaces can feel both expressive and expansive. 00:00-01:00 Introduction 01:00-01:42 Location 01:42-03:19 Floor Plan 03:19-03:45 Entrance 03:45-04:53 Dining Area 04:53-05:40 Living Area 05:40-07:05 Kitchen 07:05-08:09 Bedroom 08:09-08:45 Bathroom 08:45-09:23 Conclusion #smallapartment #architecture #interiordesign Ep 219 Project Name: Carpe Diem Architect: https://estudiodott.es/ Produced by New Mac Video Agency Creator: Colin Chee Director: Nam Tran Cinematographer: Alejandro Fabbri (sommos film) Producer: Lindsay Barnard Editor: Jessica Ruasol Music: Artlist.io Awakening by Ikoliks Earth Lullaby feat.
