The project began with a commission to carry out a small renovation of an existing house, located in a very special setting, nestled within an urban palm grove. However, it was this very element that transformed the project into a complete renovation, aiming to create spaces that open up to the surrounding landscape and maximize the potential of the existing volume.
Externally, the house's volumetric configuration, defined by its strong transverse walls, is maintained and even reinforced through the use of gray travertine cladding with vertical panels, designed for seamless integration with the existing vegetation. The intermediate volumes are simplified, and the facade openings are enlarged, becoming glazed facade planes with large sliding doors that allow for a complete connection between the interior spaces and the exterior garden.
The interior spaces are completely redefined. The living area is redrawn, blurring its boundaries and opening it up to the new front garden. The existing closed layout is redefined, seeking continuity between interior spaces and their complete fusion with the grove. Interior walls of stone and wood organize the space, housing sliding doors that allow for adjustable privacy as needed, and concealing a series of "equipped walls" that contain utilities, storage units, cabinets, and storage containers.
The interior finishes reinforce this connection with the exterior. The stone facade extends into the rooms, contrasting with panels of natural wood and steel. The staircase becomes a central element of the house—an almost sculptural object of black steel and oak that takes center stage in the double-height space connecting the two floors.
