An Introduction to the Cartagena Flats

The Cartagena Flats have finished construction and are now in the last stages of adding furnishings, detail work, other final touches to these one and two bedroom beach flats.

The Cartagena Flats drew from some of the successes of previous flats buildings in their designs, particularly the Avenida la Antigua flats. The front courtyards of Avenida la Antigua’s ground floor apartment are a prominent borrowed feature, which adds light to the ground floor flat on both sides.

In the Cartagena Flats, the main difference is that these ground floor courtyards are much more ample, which changes their use and offers a spacious front terrace that homeowners have used as a garden, a front yard, or a ground-floor grotto. The Calle Cartagena balconies continuing to add to the character of the street.

There is private entry to all eight flats, which makes each feel separate despite their physical proximity. Homeowners of each flat chose a different color for their front door, to add a splash of color to the building and further identity to each flat.

The back side of each flat looks out over the Monkey Corridor, a green space with a seasonal stream that connects from Camino Las Catalinas down to the ocean. The flats utilize the presence of this green space in a different way. Some have back courtyards, plunge pools looking out towards the ocean, grilling terraces, outdoor living rooms, even ocean view bedrooms.
