Madrid Masterpiece by Soledad Suárez de Lezo

I am obsessing over this drop-deap gorgeous Madrid apartment that was recently published in Nuevo Estilo...in my opinion, it's one of their best spreads. It was designed by Soledad Suárez de Lezo and she did a spectacular job. The mix of materials and styles is awesome. It's definitely one of those homes that makes you want to be friends with the owner, purely based on the fact that their house is so interesting and eclectic. I'm sure Soledad's clients are quite intriguing, however, I'll credit her for creating the vibe! This actually might be her flat...the e-translator I'm using isn't completely clear about that, but it says something along the lines of this being her home.

No doubt the bones of the apartment - built in 1910 - provided a perfect architectural canvas to build upon. But still it takes lots of talent to retain the sense of history and respect the classical architecture while creating a fresh, modern design scheme. To me, the custom millwork and cabinetry design is one of the highlights in the space. It was beautifully executed.

Have a look at the masterpiece (all 17 photos can be found at Nuevo Estilo)...

The limestone flooring + steel doors + black base molding is perfection...

Killer cabinetry and hardware. I'm assuming this is the closet...

I am not a yellow-lovin' girl, but this bed is an exception...

The AMAZING shower (at least I'm pretty sure it's the shower :)

 Once again, I adore the flooring plus that curved cabinet in the corner...

Isn't it fantastic? Like I said, you can see the whole spread over on Nuevo Estilo. There are more photos plus all of the sourcing information (in Spanish). I wish there were images of the exterior of the Haussman-esque building. What's your favorite room or element? I can't get over the entry vestibule shown in the first two photos above!
