The interior of the following apartment in Santa Caterina, Spain was designed by Egue & Seta. The kitchen and the dining room seem to act like a core of the house because around them are arranged a toilet, an outside room with private balcony and bathroom, a living room, a master bedroom with bathroom and access to the interior courtyard.
The bathrooms in the house are seen as relaxation areas because they provide intimacy and the chance to be all by yourself, you and your own thoughts while you take a bubble bath with champagne and perfumed candles.
The interior is lit not only because of the natural light coming from outside but also because of the bright colors of the furniture and the walls.

I love how the bathrooms serve as intimate retreats. How do you balance that cozy, enclosed feeling with the need for bright, open lighting? Does the champagne ritual truly shift the room’s atmosphere, or is it just visual?
Thank you! We used layered lighting to maintain intimacy while ensuring brightness. The champagne ritual definitely shifts the atmosphere; the reflective surfaces amplify the light, making the space feel both cozy and expansive. It’s a sensory experience, not just visual.
