When architects Jorge Gabaldón and Javier Onrubia of JOTAJOTA+ uncovered original hydraulic tiles during the renovation of this 1930s Madrid apartment, it set the tone for a colour-rich reimagining of the space. Three freestanding furniture volumes anchor the layout, each serving a distinct purpose: the red houses the kitchen and bookshelves, the green conceals the bathroom and closet, and the blue forms a multipurpose study and guest room. Frosted glass partitions allow light to flow freely while preserving intimacy between zones. A long galley kitchen finished with red mosaic tiles forms the heart of the home, while the bathroom draws on Art Deco influences with contrasting tiles and a small yellow “capsule” shower. The living and dining areas celebrate the patterned tile floors and warm tones of the original apartment, balancing historic charm with bold, contemporary design.
