LA TORRATXA
Interior Design & Full Refurbishment
A heritage home reimagined for contemporary living
Set within the Garraf Natural Park, this distinctive 1975 home stood out for its rare oval form, a shape that already gave it a strong architectural identity. Our client had lived with the house for many years as a rental, but it no longer supported the way she wanted to live — comfort, light and flow all needed to be rethought. Our collaboration aimed high: to infuse contemporary life into this home while preserving its original charm, notably the iconic ‘70s green terrazzo floors.
The project became an opportunity to honour what made the house memorable while giving it a renewed sense of ease and presence. Through a complete interior redesign and careful architectural intervention, we transformed La Torratxa into a bright, functional home where original character and contemporary living now sit naturally together.
DESIGN MOMENTS
A kitchen expanded for everyday living
What was once a compact 8 sqm kitchen became a generous 30 sqm kitchen-dining space with open valley views. A Cheyenne Granite worktop and continuous backsplash and a shelf add depth, personality and room for meaningful objects, making the kitchen feel both practical and expressive.
A bathroom shaped by the architecture
The shower was designed to follow the home’s oval geometry, turning a functional necessity into a bespoke architectural feature. Black slate skirting and the preserved green terrazzo floor create a calm, refined contrast, while the full renovation brought the room up to a modern standard without losing its connection to the original house.
A staircase turned into a quiet gesture
Above the staircase, origami paper cranes introduce a poetic pause within the home. More than decoration, they bring symbolism and lightness to a circulation area, transforming it into a moment of interest that feels personal and uplifting.
A master suite with a new life
What had once been a cold, damp water tank area was reborn as a spacious master bedroom with panoramic views over Garraf Natural Park. The result is a private retreat that feels calm, luminous and entirely unexpected in the best possible way.
Original terrazzo, preserved and extended
The iconic 1970s green terrazzo floors were carefully preserved throughout the house and replicated where new surfaces were needed. This continuity gives the home a strong sense of identity, allowing the renovation to feel layered rather than replaced.
A layout that now flows with ease
The plan was reworked across both levels to improve circulation, natural light and everyday functionality. Each area now has a clear role, and the house moves more effortlessly between social moments and quieter, more private routines.
INSPIRING
PROJECTS
«Jimena’s work on La Torratxa, 4 years ago, was really respectful about the original style and brought the best out of a ‘complicated’ building—at least for me, without the architectural background. It feels like a fusion of Bauhaus with Mediterranean influence: horizontality, circularity, transparency through glass & whiteness, 3-dimensionality through light, concrete energy.
