We wanted the walls to come alive through light.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perched on the twenty-seventh floor of\u2019AQ Urban Sky<\/strong>, in Malaga’s vibrant cultural district, a seamless open space extends toward the terrace, offering sweeping views over the city and the sea. In this suspended haven, the studio PortobelloStreet.es<\/strong> delivers an interior design project rich in narrative and technical mastery<\/strong>: pure lines, measured proportions, and a refined material palette that lets the vertical surfaces set the tone – building atmosphere, m rhythm, and quiet sophistication.<\/p>\n

In the living area, the Soffio<\/strong> graphic by Instabilelab becomes a virtual breath – one that does not compete with the skyline but flows alongside it. A decoration perfectly balanced in scale and tone, it interacts with the lighting and the transparency of the glass walls, brining softness and continuity to the space.
\nThe narrative continues into the night area, where three distinct identities take shape: the Josephine<\/strong> wallpaper dresses the suite in a discreet, refined floral watercolour; the Clouwer<\/strong> graphics transform the second bedroom into a space that feels like living inside the sky; and Moses<\/strong> weaves geometry and botany in the third, orchestrating depth and movement.<\/p>\n

Behind this sense of coherence lies a finely tunes creative process, developed in collaboration with Instabilelab. <\/strong>We spoke with Alberto Torres, one of the founding partners of PortobelloStreet.es, who shared the design choices and vision that guided the making of this interior project.<\/p>\n

– <\/strong>The AQ Urban Sky apartment unfolds around an open-plan layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room. In the living space, defined by expansive windows, the Soffio wallpaper engages with the intense natural light and sweeping views. How did you balance the scale of the design, the material support, and the lighting to enhance its presence without competing with the terrace and Malaga\u2019s skyline? <\/strong><\/p>\n

From the very beginning, it was clear that Soffio wasn\u2019t meant to dominate\u2014we didn\u2019t want it to shout, but to breathe. That\u2019s why we treated it almost like a layer of atmosphere: a backdrop that embraces without distracting. When the visual context is this powerful, the wallpaper has to have the humility to accompany it. The result is a sense of calm, as if the entire space were breathing in sync with the horizon.<\/p>\n

– Each bedroom in the apartment was conceived with its own sensory and visual identity. How did you choose the Josephine, Clouwer, and Moses graphics to define the three night areas, and what emotional atmospheres did you aim to evoke in each space?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We wanted each room to tell a different story, yet all to belong to the same narrative. In the suite, Josephine inspired us with its delicacy\u2014a floral watercolour that diffuses a sense of intimacy and serenity. It\u2019s a friendly presence that blends with warm textures and neutral tones. In the second bedroom, Clouwer is pure lightness. We liked the idea of a space that feels like living inside the sky\u2014something that makes you feel instantly lighter as you walk in. In the third, Moses brings structure and depth, balancing geometry and botany to convey strength without losing refinement.<\/p>\n

Each has its own character, but they all share the same rhythm\u2014three chapters of a single story.<\/p>\n
