Yatzer has an interview with Madrid-born and Miami-based interior designer and architect Nacho Polo. He talks about his design inspirations and the featured project is the renovation of a Madrid home from the early nineteenth century from that overlooks the Royal Monastery of the Incarnation…
This particular project by Nacho Polo has a limited color palette of black and white accomplished with a range of textures and styles — ranging from uber-modern to stately and traditional all mixed on a black and white "canvas."

I feel like booking a flight to Madrid. What's the address?
absolutely ga ga ga ga gorgeous!
Love all the lighting....there are more fabulous photos with the interview...
Beautiful, but is whitewash the only means of creating a harmonious mixed-era environment? I feel like this approach is becoming a cliché.
The white painted floors look beautiful with the white walls, but how practical are they?
Restrained opulence. Stunning.
What a tease...I'd love to see more.
I love the carbon chairs.
Okay....you're pulling my heartstrings. LOVE it.
What stunning photos. Hmm...maybe I should move to Madrid.
Whoever owns this has a LOT of money.
Funny, nobody was diggin' his all white frame installation from (I think) this same project the first time it was posted...
I'm really enjoying the squared-off segments within the bookcases that flank the fire surround. It is a ever-so-subtle modern touch in that room with beautiful historical details/mouldings. (and ga-bless for not organizing the books by cover color or pages out)
Love the little "book nook" in the striped room. (Perhaps a bathroom? Can't quite make out what that dispenser is below it.)
I love this! It's simple, clean, and sophisticated.
The striped room is definitely a bathroom. That "dispenser" is the toilet flush button. The small button is for number 1, big button for number 2! Ha! All joking aside, it's actually a great way to save water.
The white in the final picture seems so cool & inviting against that hot window view.
I could never keep those floors clean! But they are lovely.
Wow! I love this home! I like the white wooden floor.
"Funny, nobody was diggin' his all white frame installation from (I think) this same project the first time it was posted..."
As I recall, lots of people were diggin' it, including me.

A rough count of 32 of the original 60 comments ranged from "sad" to "meh" to "creepy."
But yes, technically, *some* people liked it first time around... myself included.
