Maximizing Light Inside This Compact Apartment
The open living and dining space in this apartment is anchored by three large windows that can be fully opened, offering street views and filling the room with sunlight. One end is dedicated to the dining area with a wood sideboard, whereas the other end of the open room is home to a bookshelf.

Architecture and interior design firm Lucas y Hernández-Gil have created a two-bedroom apartment in Madrid that combines brightness and comfort with thoughtful design. Every corner of this home maximizes natural light and clean, modern lines.

A minimalist galley kitchen features white cabinetry on one side for storage, while the opposite side hosts the countertop, sink, and cooktop. Sunlight from the tall end windows bounces throughout, keeping the space airy and bright.

The main bedroom balances white walls and window shades with light wood accents in the floor, bed frame, and an accent wall, while a wall of white cabinetry blends seamlessly with the surrounding surfaces.

The narrow second bedroom accommodates two beds along a white wood slat wall, each with a trundle for guests. A small desk by the window adds functionality without cluttering the space.

The bathroom features a wooden vanity with open shelving and double sinks topped by tall rectangular mirrors. A glass shower surround lets light from vertical windows pass through, while stone tile introduces a subtle natural texture.
