Multiple residential projects in Madrid, Spain, and London create immersive atmospheres with color

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Architect Gonzalo Pardo uses color to create an immersive atmosphere in his duplex apartment in Madrid's Conde Duque district, treating sensory experience as a fundamental building material.

A wall entirely painted in Klein blue at the entrance (pictured) is designed as a visual starting point that invites entry into the space, to experience the pleasures and sensations of the home. Pardo believes that applying color from the entrance brings an immersive experience to the space.

Another townhouse in London, renovated by Unknown Works, decided to open a dark interior space to a pink-painted terrace to bring in light, with color inspiration drawn from Mexican architect Luis Barragán.

In Madrid's Lavapiés district, Gonzalo del Val and Toni Gelabert Arquitectes restored two tourist apartments to their original size. The space is organized around three large, functional, and colorful elements that define different areas. Visible in the photo is a birch plywood box containing a kitchen and bookshelves, and a structure clad in salmon-colored tiles (housing the dining area and entrance), both beneath a bright red ceiling. The solution is described as Barragán-esque, defining the space while bringing warmth.

In Madrid's Malasaña district, a 30-square-meter but well-lit loft was transformed by Midori Arquitectura. The previously dominant white has almost disappeared, replaced by vibrant colors. Green dominates the terrace and part of the loft, echoing the outdoors—though Luis Barragán was not particularly fond of this color—while blue is used in the bathroom (seen in the depth of the photo).

In Madrid, an apartment designed by Jotajotamás studio features a red volume as its core. The project, named "Color House," is inspired by Barragán's architecture. According to the architects on their website, the project aims to break traditional family hierarchies through spatial experimentation and the use of color, emphasizing experience, flexibility, and versatility.
