Mudejar Vaciado

Building renovation and interior design

The project consists of the rehabilitation of an old family house consisting of three bays, which was divided by the owners into different dwellings. Due to the long lengths and minimal widths of the bays, the house only has openings at the front and rear, resulting in rooms without ventilation and natural light.

Client: Pilar and Jesús
Surface area: 190 m2
Status: Not built
Timeline: 2021
Location: Villafeliche, Spain
Type of work: Building renovation

The objective of the project was to open the spaces to the exterior, for this it was proposed to empty some areas of the house, and thus provide natural light and ventilation to other interior spaces, since the house housed a program of excessive square meters that the owners did not need. By generating these voids, the typically medieval and small spaces of the house could be adapted to more contemporary, open spaces with double heights and larger spaces.

The program was distributed in such a way that independent spaces and entrances were generated within the same dwelling. So that each owner would have his own autonomous space, but living in the same house.

The house has a Mudejar style that combines traditional elements of Hispano-Muslim culture with modern comforts. The living room is spacious and bright, with large windows that let in natural light.

In short, the rehabilitation project has become a modern and functional space. The layout of the plants has been optimized and a new
uniform and pleasant lighting. The end result is a cozy house with independent spaces that adapts perfectly to the needs of its inhabitants.
