THE EGG HOUSE – SUPERNORMAL

A PLAYFUL PAST: YELLOW TILES AND CONCRETE BONES

THE EGG HOUSE. MADRID 2021

WHEN WE FIRST WALKED INTO THIS 1970S APARTMENT, WE COULDN'T HELP BUT SMILE AT THE OPPORTUNITY IT PRESENTED. THE EXPOSED CONCRETE STRUCTURE TOLD A STORY - ONE WE WANTED TO CONTINUE RATHER THAN COVER UP. INSTEAD OF HIDING THE BUILDING'S CHARACTER, WE DECIDED TO CELEBRATE IT! THE CONCRETE PILLARS AND BEAMS REMAIN PROUDLY VISIBLE, CREATING A WARM INDUSTRIAL BACKDROP FOR WHAT BECAME OUR FAVORITE ELEMENT: THOSE CHEERFUL YELLOW TILES. WE HAD FUN PLACING THESE SUNNY TILES IN EXPECTED PLACES (LIKE THE KITCHEN) BUT ALSO IN SURPRISING SPOTS WHERE YOU WOULDN'T NORMALLY FIND THEM. THIS PLAYFUL APPROACH TRANSFORMS THE SPACE INTO SOMETHING TRULY SPECIAL - A HOME THAT FEELS UNIQUELY CONNECTED TO THE PERSON WHO LIVES HERE. THE CONCRETE GIVES US ROOTS IN THE BUILDING'S HISTORY, WHILE THE BOLD YELLOW CERAMIC BRINGS PERSONALITY AND JOY. IT'S THIS BALANCE OF HONORING WHAT CAME BEFORE WHILE ADDING UNEXPECTED TOUCHES THAT MAKES THIS APARTMENT NOT JUST A PLACE TO LIVE, BUT A PLACE THAT FEELS LIKE IT BELONGS EXACTLY TO ITS OWNER.
