The rehabilitation project developed by Estudio Alberto Burgos and Teresa Carrau Carbonell starts from an occupied house and a plot in Cabanyal, one of the most authentic neighborhoods in the city of Valencia. This old fishing district has a peculiar grid pattern derived from the alignments of the old barracks parallel to the sea.
The project consists of the intervention in two plots, number 138 and 140 of Barraca street, where the old house is cleaned, characterized by being full of life during the day, while the bathroom, kitchen, and facilities are annexed in the new volume with an industrial and prefabricated character.

Construction. House-Workshop in Cabanyal by Estudio Alberto Burgos and Teresa Carrau Carbonell
The proposal of Estudio Alberto Burgos and Teresa Carrau Carbonell is characterized by injecting contemporary construction systems into a historical plot, providing new facilities, prefabricated and efficient elements to a charming period home.
This intervention, more than a particular solution for a small specific case, proposes to be an exercise that serves as the basis for a system, a repeatable example applicable to other similar cases in the context. This project has served to experiment and verify the economy of time, resources, and a suitable budget for social housing in this environment.

Description of project by Estudio Alberto Burgos and Teresa Carrau Carbonell
The vernacular and the new, the handcrafted and the industrial, served spaces and service spaces. A house, a dichotomy. The project begins with a squatter house and a vacant site right next to it, in one of the most authentic neighborhoods in Valencia. The functional program is a house for a prototypical client, without first or last name.
A dipole generates energy, energy to revitalize. The old house is restored, shines life, during the day on the ground floor and at night in the first floor. The motor, bathroom and kitchen, with their installations, are attached as a young and prefabricated volume.
New constructive techniques are injected in the vernacular grid of the surroundings, a prefabricated volume (2 prefabricated modules of 3x6m, from Casa Modular Dominó system) is dropped, giving installations to the historic house. Juxtaposing the technic with the tectonic, the artifice with the natural, work space with residential space, steel dry construction systems and polycarbonate panels with traditional mortar and tiled roofs. Light architecture, in mass and time, almost industrial, facing the timeless serenity of the handcrafted.
This work for Cabañal urban plan has given us the opportunity to experiment and verify the economy in time, resources and budget appropriate for social housing. Apart from this being a solution to this particular project, a new system is proposed, a repeatable example.
