/ SPECIAL REPORT / 30 THESE FOUR CAREFULLY-RESTORED PROJECTS IN THE CITY OF BARCELONA IN SPAIN NOT ONLY REPRESENT HOW APARTMENTS CAN BE SENSITIVELY UPDATED FOR 21ST CENTURY LIVING, BUT ALSO SHOW HOW VERSATILE JUNG’S SWITCHES CAN BE. PAST PRESENT DIALOGUE PHOTOGRAPHY ROBERTO RUIZ & ADRIÀ GOULA PROJECT: CASA 1302 A TERRASSA ARCHITECT: HARQUITECTES This apartment has undergone an extreme makeover. Only the outer walls and staircase bear witness to what it used to be. The rest of it has been restyled through inserting three wooden “boxes” into the ground and upper floors to segregate the spaces. An industrial charm permeates, with unplastered brickwork, exposed rafters and planks of wood in place of walls. Matching it all is the JUNG LS CUBE switch, wall-mounted so it stands out. PROJECT: FONT 6 ARCHITECT: MARGHERITA SERBOLI ARQUITECTURA The Catalan Art Nouveau style is transposed to present- day in this 75m 2 apartment in the Eixample quarter, a stone’s throw from the Sagrada Família. Overhead, the false ceiling was removed and the original Catalan vault exposed. Anchoring the space beneath it is an island with blue panels on the side. More colours like warm pink, coral, white and azure are found throughout, further accented by the JUNG design classic LS 990 switch in aluminium and anthracite.
