Cartagena, Spain, Architecture Studio Baro de la Consepsion in the neighborhood Mei Estudio The minimum example of contemporary design has re -designed a modest residence of the 1960s. Nominated Casa crudaThe project embraces both protection and renewal, resulting in a house that offers a new, open way of life and reflects the layered history of its neighborhood.
Casa Kuda opposes the temptation of a complete overhaul, covering about 2,153 sq ft. Instead, Meii Estudio opted for a restrained project scope, where subtle yet decisive plans play home properties. The result is a habitat where the renovated floor and presented surfaces are obtained from the rawness of original brick walls and parquet truses.
Design philosophy avoids erassure; Every mark, texture and construction mark becomes part of the identity of the house. By laying the new on the old, Casa attains a balance between Kuda modernity and authenticity, inviting his living people to reside and enjoy the best of both the world.
One of the most dramatic decisions of the project was carrying the house to its structural core. The partition, false roof, and the old finish were removed, which reveals a huge amount of capacity. The process unveiled the wall of the brick party and highlighted wooden beams that now define the atmosphere of the main living area.
Instead of hiding these basic elements, the architects showed them, making the material part of the daily life. Stripted-back esthetic is not only about minimalism, but the desire to highlight the beauty of what was already there.
Natural light plays an important role in Casa Kruda. A large operational skylight was introduced into the roof of the tile, which created blindness in the sky above. Apart from this, it brightens the house throughout the day, changing due to the sun. The sunlight filters down through the open volume, reveal the texture and combines the interior out with the natural landscape. Skylite also provides access to a roof roof, which expands the experience living beyond the attached shell of the house.
The origin of Casa Kuda has a living room of about 300 cubic meters (10,600 cubic ft), which is conceived as a single flexible place to organize daily activities. It creates a dynamic jackposishan between its original details towards double-level-level-stitch, and with the modern elements below-modern intervention and historical protection.
A constant sage gives a ground to the Green resin-floor interior, which spreads upwards in a 7-inch high ceramic baseboard. Above this point, a floating cladding integrates technical systems in a judicious manner, maintaining clean lines and openness. The volume has been scored with vegetation, curated lighting, local artifacts and carefully selected furniture, which personalize the expander space without heavy.
