Building refurbishment

Complete rehabilitation of an old building in Murcia.

The supporting structure of load-bearing walls has been maintained in order to preserve the interior space, keeping the distances between slabs of about 4.5 meters.

The homes of the first and second floors have been replaced by professional offices, while those in the third floor were completely renovated using the space below the new zinc roof to get two luxury duplex apartments with terrace.

Hilltop House

This is a house designed for a plot of land with magnificent southerly views over the city. The southern façade allows those views to enter the house, while providing deep shade.

6 villas on a steep site

Vista verde is a group of six houses on the slopes of the Carrascoy National Park overlooking the city of Murcia. The houses combine total privacy with spectacular views, and make very good use of the sloping site.

Each house has approximately 290 useful square metres of floorspace, with a double garage, terraces, a 70 square metre lounge, four bedrooms, each with bathroom. The design aims to follow the natural contours of the site.

2 Apartment buildings
