Charcoal & Graphite

Charcoal & Graphite: Madrid

Cool, quiet and pristine, this contemporary apartment is all mineral tones and an organic partnership of wood and metal. We love how the home is intriguingly spread over different levels. Drop down a couple of steps to find a well-appointed kitchen cleverly concealed in the living space, while a dining set takes centre stage on the raised platform. A writing desk takes care of remote workers, while those visiting for pleasure can kick back on the plump sofa. Step outside and find yourself right in the heart of Madrid. You’re a fifteen-minute walk away from the masterpieces in the Prado Museum and only five minutes to the buzzing Plaza Mayor. When it comes to food and drink, we recommend taking the twenty-minute stroll over to the trendy Malasaña barrio, where modern gastrobars rub shoulders with old-school eateries.

Home truths:
*The bed is quite low to the ground, which could cause difficulties for those with limited mobility
*As your apartment is in a residential building, please be mindful of your neighbours and keep noise to a minimum after 10pm
*There is only air conditioning in some rooms
*Because of the location, some city noise should be expected – light sleepers might want to bring earplugs just in case
