WHITE VILLAGE

The architect, Pedro Reguera, makes the structures of this house lighter through the ceramic and natural collections from PORCELANOSA Grupo.

This project is respectful with the architectural models of the area and white is the colour which leads the way, along with the combination of volumes between levels.

Extremely well-known because of its Jerez wine (it was recognised as the European wine capital in 2014) and its equestrian shows, Jerez de la Frontera must be the first stop to see the white villages in Andalusia, and what is more, it is one of the most charming cities in the south.

Being respectful with that cultural urban context, the architect ,Pedro Reguera, has built this house by following the architectural models of this area, as well as enhancing that native authenticity full of white structures and open rooms.

In order to achieve this, Reguera has opted for some of the Premium collections from PORCELANOSA Grupo, such as the Marmi China wall tile from Porcelanosa, the large-format XLight porcelain tile from Urbatek, the KrionTM mineral compact, and also the technical solutions from Butech.

The cubist heritage
The facade of this house could be a part of the cubist style, because of the combination of volumes and the overlapping of the rectangular structures that it comes with. This architecture in motion is strengthened with the XLight  Moon White Nature from Urbatek, whose pure, clear and energic white returns to those old houses in southern Andalusia, enhancing brightness in its interior rooms. The attachment of these pieces has been achieved with the adhesives, joints and complements developed by Butech for cladding in facades.

This goes in line with the Marmi China and Dover Nieve wall tiles from Porcelanosa, which, in turn, are combined with the raised access flooring from Butech with the Dover Caliza ceramic collection from Porcelanosa. By bringing these two collections together, a curious contrast is created in which white and grey are the leading colours.

Hanging stairs
Inside the house, the Style laminate from L’Antic Colonial, which recreates the surface and texture of walnut through unlimited veining, has been used. The warmth provided by this collection to the house, along with the balance of its pieces, matches with the KrionTM mineral compact, which has been used here to shape the railing of the main staircase.

The resistance, easy cleaning, thermocurving ability and imperceptible joints, have made it possible for the cantilever steps to be interconnected and their interior structure to be invisible to people’s eyes. In this way, the steps seem to be in suspension and show that avant-garde style that comes with the whole house.

In the bathrooms, white also leads the way. It contrasts with the metallic finish of the sanitaryware and taps from Noken, as well as with the Shower Deck shower tray, which has the drain hidden as if it were a part of the floor itself.  

All these bathroom elements are included in the KrionTM basins, whose low porosity and antibacterial composition not only prevent fungi and bacteria growth but also they are resistant to extreme temperatures.
