En Madrid es muy habitual encontrar hostales que ocupan la primera planta de un edificio residencial. Estos hostales o pensiones y sus carteles desactualizados forman parte del paisaje urbano de las calles del centro de la ciudad. A la hora de afrontar la reforma y actualización de uno de estos negocios resul- ta imposible desvincularse del mundo romántico que rodea al concepto de turismo en la segunda mitad del Siglo XX, especialmente en Europa y América. Abrazando este concepto y todo su universo visual pero intentando evitar la tematización, se plantea una reforma entorno a un gran espacio de recepción/ café rodeado por un telón perimetral que anuncia los accesos a las diferentes habitaciones. Para am- pliar el volumen de las habitaciones y maximizar es espacio para los huéspedes, se deshace la configura- ción tradicional del baño, no así la estética, desdibujando los límites de estas estancias y generando un espacio diferenciado materialmente que formaliza también el acceso a las habitaciones. Se plantean así tres tipos de habitaciones (por orientación o tamaño) que emplean gamas cromáticas diferentes tanto en los entelados y pinturas como en los azulejos que conforman los baños.

When we took on the commission to renovate this early 20th century house, located in a historical residencial neighborhood of Madrid, we opted to maintain and preserve the classic spirit of the original house. We tried to provide sobriety and pause with the materials so that the pieces of art from the client’s personal collection would gain prominence. In addition, the facade was restored with the use of deep blue as the exterior-interior link, present in the carpentry of all the rooms of the house. On the first floor, with a more social character, unconnected spaces from previous renovations were combined and arranged, and the original staircase was maintained and restored.

This apartment located in the Chamberi neighborhood of Madrid was completely demolished, maintai- ning only the original structure of concrete pillars. To bring order to the area where the structure was more misaligned, we resorted to a central module that contained all the air conditioning and heating ins- tallations as well as the vertical elements of the structure. This wooden module, understood as a piece of furniture, would in turn serve to expand the living area by housing the sofa, to contain and hide the access doors to other spaces, mark a separation between the kitchen and the livingroom and shape the master bathroom ́s sink. As for the materials we have resorted to wood mainly in this module to enhance its volume, also marking its shape in the pavement. Throughout the house it was decided to keep the hydrau- lic tile floor because, although it had to be changed due to its poor condition, due to the type and time of construction it made sense to keep the same type of pavement.

Bos-Cos opens its first establishment in Seville with the aim of redrawing the panorama of tourist flats in the city, with the intention of bringing the concept closer to the traditional boutique hotel. The brief was to divide an old Sevillian courtyard townhouse into four independent flats, so that most of them could enjoy an independent terrace. In order to achieve this within the current legal framework, it was necessary to demolish an entire wing of the house that did not belong to the original construction and to build it from the foundations up. The result is four duplexes, two of them symmetrical and the other two fitted into the old construction. Being part of the building built from zero and the other part a refurbishement of a more than 100 years old construction, the main challenge was to bring unity to the whole. . The tool to get to this was the courtyard where vertical openings, traditional in Sevillian architecture, were forced to help giving rhythm and unity to the whole. The style makes nods to the materials, tones and elements of local architecture, combining it with some disruptive elements that add character and personality to the whole.

Complete refurbishment of a 250 m2 house on the fourth floor of a listed building in the Chamberí neighborhood of Madrid. The house is demolished in its entirety except for the load-bearing walls and the new program requirements are adapted to the existing openings in said walls, as well as to the damp cores of the house. The kitchen is located in a central position and is designed as an element of passage and separator between the public and the most private areas of the house. All the old moldings as well as the wood windows are respected and restored. The selected materials and furniture seek to renew the space without losing its essence and character.

Reforma de interior y estudio de imagen de marca para Nomad, un yate italiano modelo Mangusta 108. El objetivo era optimizar el espacio trayendo la idea y el confort de un hogar a la escala marítima. Para esto se ha reorganizado la distribuición del salón de manera a garantizar una buena tertulia que incluyera bar, comedor y ambiente de estar. En general los acabados originales de las ultimas reformas fueron sustituidos por materiales mas suaves, lo que ha resultado en ambientes mucho más cálidos y calmados.

The project for Clínica Durán, a Dentistry and Aesthetics Clinic located in Madrid, is based on functional and pro- grammatic rigor, but with the clear and fundamental objective of creating a welcoming and warm space without losing the aseptic character that should prevail in healthcare environments. In terms of program, character and materiality, the project is divided into two different spaces: the reception and waiting area and the clinical area. The reception is located in the area where there is a double height, with an urban carater that welcomes customers in a warm environment, where vegetation and stone pavements have been included as if it would be a private extension of the urban space. A two-story “façade” of ribbed glass and wood separates the clinical area, which is accessed through a single archway that marks the clear change in materiality of the office area. The four cabinets, the sterilization room and the X-ray room are located on the first floor, while the upper floor, for private use only, houses the storage rooms, offices and staff service areas.

Vela Energy ́s office is located in a protected building in Jenner street, in the neighbourhood of Chamberí. The project follows our previous project for 4th floor and maintains the original aesthetic of the facade bay with the wall and ceiling plaster moldings.

These are the first offices for TRESMARES CAPITAL, financial services provider specialised in high growth SMEs and supported by Banco Santander. Located in Madrid, in Calle Serrano, the office area is 800 sqm and the final layout considers more than 50% of the space for reception, work-cafe, collaborative spaces or meeting rooms. The layout has been designed conditioned by the structure of this old building and always trying to use residual spaces as phone booths or express small meeting rooms. Regarding materiality and always following clients brief, we tried to keep balance between sober materials and corporate red color, using as unifying element the garnet color which is present all along the spaces in this project.
o de reunión. La distribución ha estado condicionada por la estructura del edificio y se ha buscado aprovechar los espacios residuales con zonas para llamadas o pequeñas reuniones express. En cuanto a la materialidad, siguiendo el brief del cliente, se ha intentado mantener un balance entre los materiales más sobrios y el rojo corporativo, utilizando como elemento unificador el granate, presente en todo el proyecto.

Located in the heart of Madrid, this penthouse apartment is part of the top floor of a XVIth century traditional building. The client, a foreign investor, gave total freedom to create a special atmosphere for this cosy touristic apartment.
