Founded by Andrea Conti and Isabel Cert, the Barcelona-based agency is known for its simple yet refined style. Every project is distinctive, but a through-line of modern timelessness runs through each.<\/p>\n<p>We were particularly taken with an airy rooftop apartment they worked on a couple years ago. Today, Andrea gives a tour of its modern-meets-classic kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Photography by Salva Lopez, courtesy of Conti, Cert.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/8161935788209595770.jpeg\">  <br \/>Above: \u201cThe former kitchen was placed in the middle of the house (where now you can find the living room), dividing it into two very different areas,\u201d she explains.
