Dream House

The three bedrooms are located in a private wing, opposite of the main living spaces.

A discreet built-in wardrobe in the bedroom.

A family of architects teamed up to bring sunshine to every corner of their 650-square-foot flat in Madrid.

Additional storage hidden under the breakfast nook bench helps maximize every square inch.

The central courtyard presents an idyllic setting for private al fresco dining.

The well-preserved two-story residence measures 2,307 square feet.

To save space in the bedroom, Molly and her partner, Ryan Scott, designed a bed frame that nests into the corner. Drawers at the foot of the bed add storage, and a bench doubles as a side table.

Steps with drawers lead to a small “quiet area” and additional storage at the top of the stairwell.

The bathroom is finished in simple stucco with bent copper plumbing fixtures and oversized terrazzo tile. Niches in the wall accommodate bathing supplies and provide a convenient foothold for leg-shaving.

In the front room, views out to the neighborhood make the small space feel endless.

A custom steel coat rack welded to a structural beam sways when visitors ascend the stairs.

Stairs lead to two bedrooms/workrooms, a bathroom, and a hallway with plenty of storage. The "leftover" space between the levels conceals more storage as well as mechanical lines.

Marble covers the backsplash, and new upper cabinets inset with fluted glass were added.

In the bathroom closest to their daughter's bedroom, the owners made the shower accessible to a wheelchair.

The white countertops are made from concrete and the wooden cabinets have been painted a subtle shade of sage. The floors are white oak hardwood.

Sage-colored clay tiles line the shower stall in the master bath.
