Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Barcelona
In keeping with Mandarin Oriental’s passion for working with creative and exciting design concepts, the prestigious Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola was commissioned to create the interior décor of Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona.

The linear simplicity of the building, which was once the head offices of a bank, lends itself perfectly to the clean, balanced interior design by Urquiola.

The building is wrapped in a new shell that filters the view of the city with different transparencies.

Mansion flats are rented usually very small for a single occupant. It has a 400 square meter space, with minimal modern environment in which the owner can not now rest easy and relax, but the work. Internal partitions were demolished to provide a light and open plan living to maximize alignment.

Closets and storage space hidden behind the sliding doors. The integrated plant box at the top kitchen position strikes a series of green in the area. A small dressing room is the bathroom with a shower in wet areas and includes a custom vanity, compact unit. The bathroom is fitted with natural wood and Hinoki wood that a relaxed texture.
