This sunny appartment is located on Casa Jasinta Ruix, a historic gem built in 1904 by renowned architect Ramon Viniolas. The clients were eager to collaborate with Anna Agapova to honor and preserve the property’s original character while creatively reinterpreting its architectural legacy. A particular focus was placed on restoring the original mosaic, which now serves as the stunning focal point of the entire project, beautifully showcasing the essence of the space.
Anna has made a strategic decision to emphasize the advantages of the interior by using white walls to highlight bold accents and create a bright, airy atmosphere even in smaller spaces. Anna’s passion for reviving vintage details led to the meticulous restoration of antique locks, handles, and hinges. The team sourced missing pieces from Barcelona’s bazaars, bringing new life to the home’s rich patina and timeless charm.
The dining room stands out as the most modern space in the house. Neo-Gothic presentation cabinets frame a captivating painting by Scottish artist Kirsty Cohen, perfectly complementing its mood.
The dining set from French brand Maison de Mer adds remarkable versatility. To seamlessly blend the kitchen and dining room, Anna introduced a unique door design featuring pure minimalism and rounded corners inspired by the glamour of the Roaring Twenties. This bold choice creates an eclectic fusion of past and present, adding a sophisticated, modern twist to the space.

The bedroom’s eclectic charm is defined not by the bed but by a strikingly sculpted chest of drawers, wrapped in pressed, elegantly distressed leather.
Soft neutral tones in the furniture subtly echo the mosaic’s color palette, allowing it to shine as the room’s true focal point.
Yet, this refined luxury serves as a backdrop for the standout feature: a vivid painting of a young girl against a bold poppy-red background. This captivating piece is the work of royal artist Joan Marti, renowned for his distinguished presence at the court of King Juan Carlos.

The study’s design is led by its art collection, where a vintage wardrobe and antique mahogany bureau blend with bronze lamps, creating a refined, museum-like feel. Bold red, blue, and brown tones harmonize with the flooring, tying the space together.
A red Murano glass vase disrupts yet complements the room’s geometry, adding a vibrant touch.

Anna played an active role in curating the art collection, guiding the owners through antique shops and auctions. Though the collection spans various eras and styles, it feels remarkably cohesive — like it was assembled over generations by a single family.
