Photographer Alan Díaz and designer Marcos Lago purchased a 452-square-foot apartment in Barcelona after initially dismissing it due to its size. They later recognized its charm, characterized by high-vaulted ceilings and original features. The apartment's peaceful ambiance and proximity to family added to its appeal, especially for Alan, who feels a special connection to the building, built the same year as his grandmother's birth. They transformed the space from a student flat into a personalized home that reflects their personalities and heritage.
"It felt like the apartment had been waiting for us, because the moment we saw it, we just knew it was the one. The light, the sense of tranquility it emanated, and its proximity to my grandmother and mother ultimately sealed our decision."
"It is very peaceful, and in winter, it has beautiful light. A curious detail is that the building was constructed the same year my grandmother was born, and although she was only able to visit it once before passing away, it has always made me feel a special connection to her."
