The renovation of Casa Panisello in Barcelona’s Poble Sec district is a striking transformation of a 78 m² flat – the before-and-after is truly remarkable.

While every project is unique and tailored to the client’s specific requirements, Vincent Parasie and Sara Suárez consistently prioritise clarity and order. They favour open layouts that invite natural light, while ensuring spaces remain flexible and fluid. Rooms connect seamlessly and adapt to different needs over time.

The architects explain: “We reject the idea of austerity. We enjoy experimenting with materials, colours and textures, adding bold touches where possible. We avoid the easy solutions.” The result is welcoming interiors that encourage people to linger and feel at home.

Transparency is a guiding principle at Parasie Suárez Architects – from the earliest design stages through to completion. Each project begins with attentive listening, often starting even before the property is purchased, to assess its potential and challenges.

The initial phases focus on in-depth discussions and a careful evaluation of different options for transformation or redistribution, before selecting and developing the most suitable approach. This includes defining the desired atmosphere as well as the choice of materials.
