A one-bedroom in the heart of Chueca, Madrid's artistic quarter, where a dedicated workspace and an open living room sit steps from the city's galleries, bars and boutiques.

Santa Brígida sits on the edge of Chueca, just off Corredera Baja de San Pablo, close to the studios and galleries of Malasaña. Tribunal metro connects you to the rest of Madrid in minutes, and Gran Vía's shops and theaters are a short walk away. Mornings here start with coffee on a corner terrace before the neighborhood's creative energy takes over for the day.

On the first floor of a building with an elevator, this apartment opens into a space built around light and color. The high-gloss red kitchen stands open to the living room, fitted with a microwave and everything needed to cook a proper meal or pour a coffee before heading out into Chueca.

A dedicated workspace sits within the living room, close enough to the apartment's energy to stay connected, set apart enough to get a morning's work done. Air conditioning keeps the rooms comfortable through Madrid's summer afternoons.

The bedroom is generously sized, filled with the same natural light that runs through the rest of the home, a quiet counterpoint to the color of the kitchen and the pace of the street outside.
