Project description from design firms DG Arquitecto Valencia
Beauty, functionality, and respect for history come together in the sober renovation of a home in Valencia.
The comprehensive renovation of this 135 m² apartment, built in 1952 and located in Valencia’s Petxina neighborhood, next to the Túria Garden, stems from a young family’s desire to establish a permanent home after years of an itinerant lifestyle.
The project addresses the transformation of an excessively compartmentalized interior in which only a few original elements of value had survived. Among them, the ceiling moldings carefully preserved become the conceptual starting point of the intervention and the guiding thread of the dialogue between past and present.
The proposal is based on a respectful attitude toward the building’s history and a commitment to sobriety and timelessness. Rather than pursuing a dominant architectural statement, the project opts for a discreet intervention that supports everyday life and allows time and personal objects to complete the domestic space. Tradition and contemporaneity thus coexist in balance through a serene, clear, and honest architecture.
The functional program is conceived with flexibility in mind, capable of adapting to the different stages of family life.
