I'm home

The Watts residence is located on a hill in Barcelona situated in the northeast part of Spain. A husband, a wife, and a 4-year-old daughter live in this house. The couple wanted to get away from the urban noises so they purchased the residence, which was built in 1902. This area also has good access to the center of the city. In the past, modern architecture was in full swing, and the Watts liked the unique atmosphere of fusing modernism and craftsmanship. They renovated their place with the concept of "reviving the soul of those days."
This building consists of 3 stories and a basement, and has been passed down for about 100 years, with various owners fixing it up at different times. The couple spent about 2 months on herringbone-plastered floors and painted walls to recreate the original state of the building. As for the coordination of the fixtures, clasps and furniture, the couple consulted with the wife Jeanette's friends. These friends are a group of coordinators called "recdi8". In the old part of Barcelona city, are craft centers from ancient times and it is possible to acquire doors and handles that are made the traditional way. However, finding the furniture of those days is difficult, so with the philosophy of the early 1900s in mind, they employed a furniture manufacturer who maintains a classic modern taste. On the other hand, for the master bedroom on the 3rd floor, silver and white mosaic tiles were plastered on the whole surface of the wall to give it a modern feel.
While maximizing the charm of the building, the couple showcased their taste. When you are in the Watts residence, you can almost feel the active lifestyle of those days past.
