Located in Barcelona’s Turó Park neighborhood, this 635-square-foot apartment by SIGLA Studio challenges one of the most deeply ingrained conventions of domestic architecture: the idea that certain functions must remain hidden. While kitchens have gradually evolved from enclosed service spaces into the social center of the home, bathrooms have largely remained untouched by this transformation.
