REBENAL – Duplex renovation in Costa del Sol

Benalmadena

Duplex renovation in Costa del Sol

This commission encompasses all aspects of the project: from the complete renovation to the decoration and furniture design. The entrance, conceived as a distributing furniture piece, organizes and provides access to the day area, arranged in an L-shape, and the staircase, integrating functionality and aesthetics into a single element.

On the upper floor, we have designed two en-suite bedrooms and an office, creating spaces that combine comfort and style. The lighting, carefully planned, along with meticulous attention to detail, ensures a cozy and sophisticated atmosphere in every corner of the duplex.

The final result, which reflects our commitment to excellence in design and execution, conveys the quality standards and design that the developer demanded. This project is a testament to how architecture and interior design can transform a space, offering an unparalleled living experience.

Proyect concepts

The project involves precisely developing the apartment renovation, integrating all program elements to achieve a harmonious and coherent ensemble. Each component will be carefully designed and coordinated to ensure that all elements fit together perfectly, guaranteeing efficient and high-quality execution.

The focus will be on maximizing the functionality and aesthetics of the space while respecting the client’s needs and preferences. Special attention will be given to the selection of materials, finishes, and architectural details, aiming to create an environment that combines comfort and elegance.

The day area is designed to be as fluid as possible, allowing all spaces to take advantage of the incredible sea views. Special attention will be given to the layout and circulation, ensuring a smooth transition between different areas.

Additionally, careful consideration will be given to the presence of the staircase, a fixed element that will be harmoniously integrated into the design. The staircase will not only serve its structural function but will also enhance the overall aesthetics of the space, without compromising the views or the functionality of the day area.

The design of the houses offers a very clear example of the rational architecture of the time:

– a porch entrance

– patio with a covered corridor

– load-bearing walls in façade

-intermediate bays with pillars and deep concrete beams

-staircase made with brick vault

Simplicity is the common link in the materials and construction solutions used.

The refurbishment project tries to value all this. It starts from a building that has undergone numerous reforms over time, undermining its original conception. Therefore, the renovation will be in charge of cleaning and enhancing the original values of the property.

Proyect concepts

– Recover the original scale of the patio – Eliminate all the partitions except for the closure of the access stairs to the upper floor, which will serve as the nucleus of all the facilities

-Show inwards the materiality of the house that responds to a time and a very specific way of understanding construction – Contrast the original elements with new finishes and textures that enrich the proposal

Take advantage of the intervention on the façade to improve the energy efficiency of the property and propose a language that makes the building stand out from the surrounding without losing sight of the solutions for the environment.

The ground floor has the public spaces of the studio, taking advantage of the direct relationship with the street. It is proposed to compartmentalize the space using mobile shelves, in such a way that the space can be adapted to the different uses that are needed.

The upper floor will be the work area, with more privacy and better sunlight. The furniture has been designed to adapt to the existing space in order to make the best use of it. In addition, the exterior balcony, playing with the wooden blinds, offers an intermediate space with a character different from that of the workspace, improving the insulation of this facade in the summer season.
