Febrero Studio has brought their new project, Apartment MS7, with a new and enchanting interior for people to explore. The studio completed a complete renovation of the 250-square-metre apartment, which is located on the fourth floor of a heritage-listed building in Madrid's Chamberi neighborhood.

Founded by Mercedes González Ballesteros and Jesús Díaz Osuna in 2016, Febrero Studio is a multidisciplinary practice working across the spheres of architecture, interior design and applied branding. The studio focuses on creating warm and personal spaces that are functional and help clients reinvent themselves through design, through a variety of projects including offices, hotels, restaurants, homes and private clinics.

For this project, González Ballesteros and Díaz demolished the home in its entirety except for the load-bearing walls. A new ambitious program—including 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 powder room, kitchen, living room with dining area, second living room and a kitchenette—was adapted to the existing openings, as well as to the damp cores of the house.

The kitchen is located in a central position and is designed as an element of passage, separating the public and private areas of the apartment. On one side sits a powder room and living/dining area, while on the other side are spacious four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a second living room and a kitchenette.

All the original mouldings as well as the timber windows were respected and restored. A limited palette of noble materials—Walnut timber, Oak parquetry and travertine—is utilised with a restraint that makes the nostalgic feel contemporary. The selected materials and furniture seek to renew the space without losing its essence and character.
