The project is a home for a family made up of a young couple and their two young daughters.

It revisits, in a contemporary context, the history and essence of the house by rescuing some of its original elements such the wooden structure, stone and brick walls and window shutters. It celebrates the past while transforming it into a creative reinterpretation, using the pre-existing as a canvas for a new aesthetic and functional narrative.

Light and shapes become fundamental pillars of the project, establishing a visual harmony that connects each space without hierarchizing it. Instead of setting boundaries, continuity and fluidity between spaces are encouraged through curved forms in the ceiling and furniture. Color and materials generate a language that guides us through the different uses. A ceramic baseboard runs throughout the house to link the spaces and the same material makes up both floor and custom furniture to generate a cozy atmosphere in which only two materials intervene, ceramic and wood.

Finishes, colors, and shapes are approached from a playful, almost game-like perspective. Thus, the entire color palette references the sun and nature, achieving, thanks to the orientation of the house, a dialogue with light that creates a warm and natural atmosphere.
